What is the Road Naming & Numbering Policy?
Our Road Naming & Numbering Policy provides guidance to developers, council staff and Elected Members when selecting names for new roads and access ways. It sets out the details of the application and approval process and it provides selection principles and criteria.
We are currently reviewing our Road Naming & Numbering Policy
With our current policy, we are finding -
Infrequent and minimal need for new road names
Responsibility for implementation by staff has been inconsistent
Consultation requirements are poorly defined and confusing for applicants
Excessive detail required for applications
Poor linkage to other consenting process
Excessive and prolonged approval process
Policy is too “wordy”
We are proposing the following changes -
Emphasis on front ending road name selection with project approvals
Staff identify early the requirement to provide names for accessways and public roads
Simplify the policy content and the application process (inc. application form).
Clearly lay out consultation requirements for applicants
Consistent Staff responsibility for review
One step final approval, Council or Community Board (delegation may be required)
Potential removal the list of proposed names
Have your say - 25 July – 15 August 2024
Our proposed Road Names & Numbering Policy can be found on the right hand side of this page under the documents section. Have a read and head to the submission form at the bottom of this page to tell us your thoughts on our proposed changes.
You can also get a copy of the submission form from our office at 17 Maniapoto Street, Ōtorohanga. A PDF of the submission form is available on the right hand side of this page under the documents section should you wish to print it.
