What are the next steps?

Your feedback has helped shape the development of Council’s Speed Management Plan which will be adopted in 2024.

Our proposed approach is for a 50kph speed limit in urban areas and 80kph speed limit within rural areas, with exceptions including schools, Marae, town centres and community identified areas.

To achieve the best safety outcomes for the local community we’ll be prioritising areas with the highest need first. The priorities identified for the first three years of the Speed Management Plan are:

• Schools
• Marae (and associated community hubs)
• Other high-risk and high benefit areas (e.g., places with a high concentration of people like town centres)
• Areas identified by the community as important (e.g., particular roads or areas where there is local community support for a speed limit reduction).
