Kia ora koutou,

Consultation is now open on the Reshaping Streets regulatory changes. These proposals would enable local authorities to make street changes more efficiently and provide new ways for communities to be involved in changes that affect them.

Some regulations for managing roads are almost 50 years’ old and outdated. It’s important to update these to reflect our needs as a country now.

The proposals include new approaches for changing street layouts, piloting, or trialling street changes, and for restricting vehicles from some streets. 

You can find out more about these proposals, and how to have your say on them, https://www.nzta.govt.nz/about-us/consultations/reshaping-streets-consultation/what-happens-when-you-send-us-a-submission/

 Public consultation on the Reshaping Streets ends at midnight on Monday 19 September 2022.
