- When a CAR is needed
A CAR is how you apply for permission to work in the road corridor, and without a Works Access Permit you do not have Marlborough Roads' permission to work there and may be told to stop. No list of work types or exemptions was found on the pages checked.

- TMP submission
Include a TMP with the CAR, along with the required beforeUdig information, plans and photos. Documents are attached after the CAR has been submitted: open the CAR from your CAR history and upload each file one at a time. If a TMP was not part of the original application, submit one at least 5 working days before any work.

Closures and road space
- Road closure application
For an event needing some or all of a road or footpath closed or altered, complete a traffic management plan and submit it to Marlborough Roads. An application fee applies and the applicant budgets for public advertising of the closure. The council decides on safety, traffic management and conditions. The page points to NZTA for more information and forms. No separate closure form or lead time was found.
