Plain-English summary
Dunedin City Council intends to stop two sections of unformed legal road adjoining 26 White Road, Waitati. The sections have a combined area of about 5,960 square metres and are proposed to be amalgamated with the neighbouring property.
The road stopping is subject to the statutory process, Minister for Land Information approval, survey, payment of costs and market value, and any necessary easements. Submissions can identify public-access, utility or neighbouring-property reasons for retaining the land as legal road.
Why it matters
Road stopping permanently removes the land's legal-road status and enables it to become part of a private title.
Public notice allows access, utility, environmental and neighbouring-property interests to be considered before that occurs.
Who may care
- Waitati residents, adjoining owners and people who use White Road or nearby informal access routes
- Utility operators, walking and cycling groups, mana whenua and public-access advocates
How to make a submission
- Read the public notice and plan on the official council page.
- Send any submission or objection using the council's listed instructions before the closing date.
