Temporary Road Closures

Roads in the district can be temporarily closed for special events such as the annual Santa Parade, car rallies, cycle events and running events. Under Section 342 of the Local Government Act anyone who wishes to temporarily close a road for an event must apply to Council to do so. Applications must be received at least 60 days before the event to allow for advertising and public consultation. Temporary road closures also require a Temporary Traffic Management Plan.
