Consultation

From 14 September to 19 October 2020, Council was seeking feedback from the public to determine high-traffic thoroughfares (roads and pathways with high vehicular or pedestrian traffic). Our team's will be collating this information and presenting it to Council. Those who indicated they would like their submission heard will be contacted with the hearing date once it is confirmed.

Determining these high-traffic thoroughfares is a required step in council’s responsibility to identify ‘priority buildings’ under the new system for managing earthquake-prone buildings.
