AA services moving locations in Richmond and Tākaka

We are not renewing the contract to provide AA services from our Council service centres in Richmond and Tākaka – including driver and vehicle licensing and government identity services – and we have decided to focus on core council services going forward.

AA services have been available in Richmond, Motueka and Tākaka for around 10 years. AA will continue to be provided in Motueka and Tākaka through AA, and via a new provider in Richmond, Te Kotahi o Te Tauihu Trust, so customers can still access these services in Tasman.

What this means for each location:

• Richmond: The New Zealand Automobile Association (AA) is partnering with Te Kotahi o Te Tauihu Charitable Trust to help keep driver licensing and identity services accessible. AA services will move to 222 Queen Street from Monday 29 June 2026. Services will be unavailable from midday on Friday 26 June to facilitate the move.
• Tākaka: Services will operate twice a month from a mobile unit at Heartlands Tākaka. See the dates here.
• Motueka: Services will continue at our Council Service Centre, 7 Hickmott Place, while a new location is finalised. AA services are available Monday to Thursday only.
• Murchison: Murchison is NZTA based which means it will retain all current functions with no changes needed.
