Hurunui District Council

The council's page says to submit the CAR through BeforeUDig with the TMP and supporting documents, and that all TMPs go through Submitica. The council's own user guide describes lodging the CAR itself on Submitica (free to use; a delegated authority can submit). Check which portal your application should go to with the council.

A CAR is needed for any works that impact the road corridor, including placing pipes, ducts, poles, cabinets or other structures. Building or resource consent may also be needed.

A TMP is required as part of the CAR application and must be uploaded with it; the council will not issue a Work Access Permit without an accepted TMP. The TMP covers the works, temporary controls, work programme and a contingency plan. The designer must hold a Temporary Traffic Management Planner warrant or a current NZQA qualification (from 1 May 2021). To extend a TMP, use the TMP Extension Request Form before it expires.

The council's page says TMPs must meet the minimum standards in the NZ Guide to Temporary Traffic Management, and lists the NZ Guide as what it currently accepts. CoPTTM is not mentioned on the page.

The council's current roading fee page (it shows no year, and the council says fees are adopted each year and come into force from 1 July; its general information page says all fees and charges include GST): corridor access request $190, event road closure application $142 per hour plus actual costs, damage bond for a temporary road closure for motorised events with reasonable risk of damage to the road $7,895. A bond is also required for road closures, with advertising and processing costs deducted from it. A TMP fee was not found on the page.

The council says processing may take 5 to 15 working days while approvals and conditions are set. Minimum timeframes: standard CAR or TMP 5 working days, non-event road closure TMP 10 working days, event road closure TMP 42 working days (a statutory requirement for public advertising). Road space bookings must be in at least 5 working days before the start. Event and closure applications must be in well ahead to allow time for public notification.

For an event needing a full road closure, submit a temporary road closure application with the proposed TMP, well in advance, and pay a bond. The council must advertise the proposed closure (local paper, social media and other channels) with a one week period for objections, then publish a second notice after the committee's decision. No work or event can go ahead until the closure is formally decided and the notices are published.

Forms and requests the council publishes for corridor work.

• Temporary road closure application

  Covers Closing a road for an event, with the proposed TMP; a bond is paid

  Applies when An event requiring a full road closure

• TMP Extension Request Form

  Covers Extending the dates on a TMP

  Applies when Work is delayed and the TMP dates need extending; submit before the current TMP expires

• Road Space Booking (RSB) application

  Covers Booking a small non-excavation site, uploading only the intended layout rather than the whole generic TMP

  Applies when Holding a current generic TMP and working at a non-excavation site; at least 5 working days before the start

Road space bookings are for non-excavation sites only and are open to holders of a current generic TMP. Complete the online RSB application at least 5 working days before the start and upload only the intended layout, not the whole generic TMP. All other sites need a site-specific TMP in Submitica. The council publishes a map of road space booking sites.

An event on or beside the road corridor that changes normal road conditions needs a TMP, submitted well ahead. A full road closure for an event also needs the temporary road closure application and bond (see road closure). The council has a separate guide called Running an Event in the Hurunui District.
