ROADING

 

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.

Stock Crossings and Races on Road Reserve

(PDF, 412kb, 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 the 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. In this brochure, we explain the new requirements under the Roading Bylaw relating to Stock Crossings and Races on Road Reserve.

 

   

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.
