Within the Clutha District, roads are managed by two
separate roading authorities. Transit New Zealand takes care of the State
Highways, while Council maintains all other roads, known as local roads.
With a total roading network of 2916km, the Clutha
District has the second largest local roading network in New Zealand. Of that
2916km, 27 % (776km) is sealed and 73% (2140km) is unsealed. Rural roads make up
95% of the total network.
However, roading assets we administer include more
than just roads. There are also footpaths, bridges, streetlights and other
assets that are associated with roads.
Main roading tasks include road, bridge and culvert
maintenance and replacement; reforming and rehabilitating sealed roads; grading
and metalling of unsealed roads; footpath maintenance and construction; seal
extensions, car park maintenance and construction, street lighting and road
safety engineering projects.
The majority of our roading activities are financially assisted by Land
Transport New Zealand. For 2008/09 this is at a rate of 60% assistance. This
means that local ratepayers have to fund 40% of the bulk of the costs of local
roads. However, not all roading activities are eligible for financial
assistance, for example, at the moment there is no assistance for footpath
renewals and a majority of seal extensions.

In July 2008, after a lengthy period of public

need for any new dairy conversion or expansion operating on
opposite sides of the road to install a stock underpass, unless exempted
by Council in some situations.

Stock Droving in Clutha District
(PDF, 275kb, opens new window)
In July 2008, after a lengthy period of public
consultation, Council adopted a new Roading Bylaw which
consolidated our Stock Droving, Parking and Traffic, and Speed Limit
bylaws. It also includes new requirements such as
making sure you notify us when moving stock in certain situations, and
charging for the recovery of costs of repair when it comes to causing
damage to the roads. In this brochure, we explain the
new requirements under the Roading Bylaw relating to Stock Droving, as well as
those existing key requirements carried over from the old bylaws and
existing Council policy.

Trees Shading or Overhanging Road Reserve Brochure
(PDF,
209kb, opens new window)
This brochure provides an explanation of Clutha District Council’s policy in
respect to trees on private property or road reserve which become a danger to
the general public. It has been designed to help make sure roads are not shaded
during winter months, to ensure vegetation does not impede visibility at corners
or intersections, and to prevent vegetation from becoming a danger to foot
pedestrians.
