Council's new public notification system that will enable us to send important alerts via email and text message
The design and installation of an underpass is the responsibility of the property owner. Before any work is undertaken please contact the Roading team at roading@waimatedc.govt.nz or call +64 3 689 0000 to ensure all information is obtained.
A Deed of Grant agreement must be signed for the construction and use of a stock underpass.
A professionally designed structure is essential to meet the requirements of Council, the road user and the farmer for the particular site involved.
As well as technical details for the underpass structure, the design shall clearly show:
The Underpass shall be of sufficient length for a minimum road width between kerbs as follows:
(> 150 vehicles per day) 12 metres
(<150 vehicles per day) 9 metres
The underpass contractor must submit a Temporary Traffic Management Plan and Road Opening Notice to Council for approval.
A road can be closed if a suitable detour is available. The contractor must apply for the closure at least two (2) weeks before the intended closure to allow for public notification.
The detour must be sign-posted and affected parties notified. The applicant will be liable for the cost of advertising.
