How the process works

1

Send the site address, plans, work dates and traffic or access concern.

2

CiviEase checks the road environment, access points and likely authority questions.

3

The right survey, assessment, CAR, TMP or traffic management pathway is scoped.

4

Documents or site support are prepared in a way the project team can act on.

5

Follow-through support can continue into temporary traffic management or equipment hire where suitable.

Approval depends on the proposal, site constraints, district plan rules, road controlling authority requirements, available information and council assessment. CAR, TMP and traffic management requirements depend on the road controlling authority, work type, road environment, timing, site constraints and work methodology.

Frequently asked questions

No. Vehicle access assessment looks at how the site access works. A vehicle crossing application may be needed where the driveway/crossing works affect the road corridor or footpath area.

Need vehicle access assessment?

Access is where the drawing meets the street. That is why it pays to check early. Send us the site address, plans, council letter, RFI or work details and we will help identify the next step.
