What must be confirmed for Manawatū District Council work?
Manawatū District Council says work or events in the road corridor require a CAR. Applications may use BeforeUdig, Submitica or council's form, and event closures need early notice and on-day traffic management. Council remains the approver.
02
Choose the CAR method that fits the job
BeforeUdig, Submitica and the council form are listed pathways. Select one, then ensure the site, dates, utility information and TMP remain consistent through review.
- Confirm service-location needs
- Use a single authoritative scope
- Track council conditions
03
Use a documented risk-based approach
Council states it is transitioning to NZGTTM for relevant work. The brief should identify hazards, users and controls rather than defaulting to an untested standard diagram.
- Record actual site risks
- Link controls to the work method
- Retain change evidence
04
Build public notification into the programme
Council asks for proposed event closures at least 60 days ahead and explains the public-notification process. The on-day plan and provider should be secured before the date is promoted.
- Allow the stated lead time
- Provide route and duration
- Confirm insurance and on-day resources
05
Protect bridges, farms and higher-speed approaches
The district's extensive rural network requires practical visibility, shoulder and property-access checks. Field monitoring should cover heavy vehicles and changing weather.
- Measure sight distance
- Maintain farm access
- Plan equipment recovery

How early should an event closure be raised?
Council asks for proposed road closures at least 60 days before the event, with the details needed for statutory notification.
