Our Network
Within the Clutha District Waka Kotahi (NZTA) takes care of the State Highways and Clutha District Council maintains all other roads, known as local roads.
With a total network of 2,903 km, the Clutha District has the third-largest local roading network in New Zealand. Of this, 833km is sealed and 2,070km is unsealed. Rural roads make up 95% of the total network. We also have 360 bridges.
However, we administer more roading assets than just roads including footpaths and streetlights.
Our 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.
While all of our roading activities are financially assisted by Waka Kotahi. not all roading activities are eligible for financial assistance.
