Roads and parking

If you have a non-standard vehicle, for example one that’s heavier or larger than most, you may need to get special permission to drive it on our roads.

We manage all parking services in Hutt City. Our service includes managing all Council-owned car parks, all parking zones monitored by time limits and pay and display machines, issuing special parking permits, requests for services regarding parking complaints and enquiries, enforcement of parking fines and stationary vehicle offences.

If you are planning roadworks or any kind of traffic or road-related activity that affects public roads, talk to us about what permissions you may need first.

Road safety is everyone’s responsibility. The best way to make our roads safer is for every one of us to take care on the roads and keep to the rules.

If you need to close a road temporarily for a specific event, put up signage at election time or advertise an event you’ll find everything you need to know about each process right here.

If you are planning to use a skip or a container outside your property boundary on a public road you may need a permit for it.

If you’re planning a parade or a street event that will close a public road, you need to have a temporary road closure permit. 

If you want to improve vehicle access to your property, you may want to put in a crossing or ‘run-up’ across the footpath and kerb to the road.

We carry out weed control throughout public roads of the city as a preventative maintenance programme.

Fees and charges for overstaying parking fines, signage and road work related costs.
