On Our Roads Consultation

 

What's Happening

Waitomo District Council has a bylaw and related policies that are either new or need reviewing.

As these all relate specifically to our district, and how we use our roads and footpaths, we’re putting them out for consultation to the community. This package is called – On Our Roads.

These are the four documents we’re seeking feedback on:

  1. Draft Land Transport Bylaw (reviewed)
  2. Draft Road Encroachment Policy (new)
  3. Draft Stock Underpass Policy (reviewed)
  4. Draft Road Naming Policy (new)

 

Who We're Seeking Feedback From

Council is interested in hearing from those who reside in the Waitomo District who use our local roads (not including state highways).

We’re seeking feedback from those who drive, walk, run, ride bikes and horses. Even those who move stock around, on or near our roads. This is relevant for almost everyone in the district. And we’d love you to have your say.   

 

The Draft Policies Under Review Are

Land Transport Bylaw

Applies to the management of all roads in the district, covering the control of physical roads, traffic and vehicles on road, speed management, and stock on roads.

Road Encroachment Policy

Describes when encroachment on a road or road reserve will be permitted and under what circumstances.

Stock Underpass Policy

Outlines conditions and requirements that must be met when installing a stock underpass. 

Road Naming Policy

Sets the rules and requirements for naming new roads and renaming existing roads.

On each page you'll learn a more about the policies under review, and you'll be able to fill out the submission form with your feedback.
