Entrance / Vehicle Crossing

Kuhunga / Whakawhitinga Waka

Applying for an approved vehicle crossing 

If you’re building a new house, you need to also install an approved vehicle crossing from your property to the road.

You will need to apply to install or upgrade an entrance by filling the Vehicle Crossing Application Form. Applications are free of charge.

The application form will be sent to a Council staff member who will assess the design and location of the proposed entrance which will include a site visit. You will receive the decision within 10 working days of applying.

Once the approval is granted, you will need to construct the entranceway according to Council's standards (in the downloads section) and once completed, call for a final inspection.

Important information

• Submit a Corridor Access Request (CAR) and Traffic Management Plan before construction starts
