What must be confirmed for Gisborne District Council work?
Gisborne District Council says corridor work requires council approval and uses Submitica as its preferred application platform. It allows up to 20 working days for processing and requires approved documents to remain on site. YourTMP supports the application and delivery; GDC remains the approver.
02
Build the CAR, WAP and TMP as one package
The location, activity, excavation, access impacts and work programme should agree across every document. A mismatch between the TMP and CAR can slow review or create conditions that cannot be delivered on site.
- Use the exact site and dates
- Include work method and affected users
- Keep drawings and application details aligned
03
Show how the actual Gisborne site will operate
GDC's current guidance expects NZGTTM-aligned documentation, a proportionate risk assessment and layouts that follow from the identified risks. Planning should address set-up and removal as well as the work phase.
- Document hazards and residual risk
- Plan establishment and uplift
- Include contingency arrangements
04
Account for freight, events and access
Port and industrial movements, CBD activity, rural traffic and event demand can alter acceptable timing or control choices. Nearby works and emergency access should be checked before the TMP is finalised.
- Check nearby works and events
- Maintain emergency and property access
- Allow for heavy and vulnerable road users
05
Install, inspect and close out to the accepted plan
The site team needs the stamped documents and conditions before establishment. Monitoring should test the plan in operation; any significant adjustment should be recorded and referred through the authorised process before the site is uplifted and closed.
- Hold approved documents on site
- Record inspections and material changes
- Complete system and physical close-out

Gisborne District Council planning and delivery questions
How is a Gisborne CAR submitted?
GDC identifies Submitica as its preferred platform; BeforeUdig can also support service information and CAR submission. The job should be checked against the current council instructions before lodging.
How early should we apply?
GDC asks applicants to allow up to 20 working days, while event road closures can require substantially more lead time. Complex jobs should be briefed earlier.
Does an approved TMP let us start immediately?
Only when all required approvals, including the WAP and any TMP approval, have been issued and their conditions can be met. Approval of one document alone may not complete the pathway.
Can YourTMP provide the site crew?
Where the competency, dates, equipment and travel can be confirmed, YourTMP can scope establishment, monitoring, approved changes and uplift. Availability is confirmed per job.
