Hamilton City Council

It depends on the work, and the council page names three systems. Excavation work uses the CAR system via beforeudig.co.nz with the TMP. Work with no excavation (for example events in the road reserve) is submitted via corridoraccess.co.nz. Submitica can also be used for excavations, non-excavation, events and road closures. The page was last updated in August 2022, so confirm the current system with the council.

Needed for any activity, work, excavation or event within a road reserve. Work near a footpath or public space has to meet the council's footpath criteria (footpath kept safe, minimum widths of 1.7m in the central city and 1.2m elsewhere, no excavation or heavy machinery in the footpath, no overhead structural work, and no more than three days); if it cannot meet any of them, the footpath space has to be provided for in the CAR. Drones flying over a road corridor also need corridor access.

Any work, activity or event in a road reserve must be controlled by a TMP prepared by a suitably qualified contractor. Upload a plan of the work showing how pedestrians are catered for. In areas with known cycle lanes the TMP must include a copy of the council's cycle lane requirements document (generic TMPs also need a cycle lane map). No file format rule is published.

Both, per the council page: CoPTTM remains the reference while NZGTTM phases in, and the council says it works with both during the transition. The council's local conditions still say traffic management follows CoPTTM. No NZGTTM switch date is published; the page was last updated in August 2022.

Yes. Hamilton publishes General Conditions and Local Conditions for CARs. The local conditions cover footpath widths, above-ground utility structures (neighbour consultation attached to the CAR), traffic signal assets, noise, work moratoriums, reinstatement, and road closures for events.

Published on the council page (last updated 16 August 2022, so confirm the current fees): CAR application fee Minor $370, Major $730, Project $1,145; non-excavation work (tree trimming, events and similar) $348; generic TMP $370; CAR extension $34; site inspections $142 per hour; works without approval penalty $533. Event road closure advertising is at actual cost, and a report for a closure that misses the 42 day criteria is $400 plus advertising.

Lodge at least 15 days before start for major works or projects, and at least 5 days for minor works (the page says days, not working days). Event road closures need the TMP at least 90 days ahead.

A road closure goes in as part of the TMP and CAR (the page lists Submitica for road closures). It legally needs public advertising, notification letters and signage. For events the TMP is due at least 90 days ahead and the closure must be publicly notified at least 42 days before, at the applicant's cost. No separate form was found on the pages checked.

Event road closures go through the same CAR and TMP system. Public notice at least 42 days before, advertising paid by the applicant, advance warning signs at least two weeks ahead and letters to affected residents and businesses. Separate event permits are applied for through the council's event permitting service.

Letters to residents and businesses for event closures, neighbour consultation for above-ground utility structures, and contacting the council's traffic signals maintenance contractor before work near traffic signals or ITS equipment. The page also offers a free cable location service near traffic signals.

No corridor access team inbox is published on the pages checked; use the council's general contact: [email protected], phone +64 7 838 6699.

No standard working hours are published on the pages checked. The general conditions say hours follow the Local Conditions and Special Conditions where traffic volumes or residential or Central Business District requirements call for it, and the published Local Conditions set none; special conditions are set per application. Works near homes, schools and businesses must be scheduled to limit noise and vibration, and the council can impose road work moratoriums when no work is allowed.
