If you are planning an event that requires a road closure, you need to apply to Council for permission. Please email your request to roadingconsents@uhcc.govt.nz giving as many details as possible - date, time, event, participants etc.
Council is required to advertise the application in a local paper and give the community time to make a submission for or against the road closure. Council will also contact landowners in the area affected by the road closure.
Once this information has been received, the application will either go to a Council Committee or a Council meeting for a decision.
There are costs associated with this process: advertising, road closed signs and postage.
Traffic Management and Public Liability insurance are also conditions of a road closure for an event, this is organised by the applicant at their expense.
This process can take a number of weeks to complete, especially if it has to go to a Council meeting.
Please send your request through at least 10-12 weeks prior to the event.

Major roadworks in progress
From time to time a temporary road closure may be required to allow for physical road works and local events. There may be some disruption to traffic as speed is reduced while going through or next to a work site. Stop/go traffic flow will be in place where required. All work is weather dependent and time-frames may extend due to this.
This work is weather dependent.
