How the process works

1

Send the site address, plans, council letter, RFI or work details.

2

CiviEase checks what is likely to be required and what information is missing.

3

The right documentation path is scoped before avoidable back-and-forth grows.

4

Clear documents or support notes are prepared for the next council or project step.

5

If the project moves toward works, CAR, vehicle crossing, TMP and traffic management needs can be considered early.

Approval depends on the proposal, site constraints, district plan rules, road controlling authority requirements, available information and council assessment.
