Extraordinary Council Meeting Agenda

9 May 2022

5 Reports

5.1 Temporary Road Closures Request - International Rally of Whangārei

File Number: A3698017

Author: Tania George, EA to GM - Infrastructure and Asset Management

Authoriser: Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

The purpose of this paper is to gain Council approval for temporary road closures for the International Rally of Whangarei.

WhakarĀpopoto matua / Executive Summary

· The International Rally of Whangārei is planned to take place on Saturday 14 May 2022.

· Temporary road closures are required to enable this event to take place.

· Under the Local Government Act 1974, Council approval is required for the temporary road closures.

tŪtohunga / Recommendation

That Council:

a) Approve the proposed temporary road closures within the Far North District for safe event operation during the International Rally of Whangarei on Saturday, 14 May 2022.

1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background

The International Rally of Whangārei has been successfully held previously. It could not be run in 2020 or 2021 due to Covid restrictions. There is an appetite from businesses in the Far North and particularly the Bay of Islands to see the event return.

Council has a long-standing relationship with the rally organisers, who have a good record of successful events with minimal damage to the road network.

It is usual for applicants for temporary road closures to put up a bond and insurance for damage to the network. For previous events the organisers have been granted an exemption. This arrangement will continue this year with any excessive damage, that would not reasonably be addressed by routine maintenance grading, being repaired by the Rally of New Zealand Club Inc.

The detail of the temporary road closures is provided in the attached report prepared by the Northland Transportation Alliance.

The NTA will undertake pre and post rally inspections of the roads being used to identify any damage caused by the rally (if any).

The rally organisers have confirmed that they are undertaking liaison with residents and Iwi.

The rally organisers have obtained a Motorsport permit which confirms that Public Liability insurance is in place.

2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options

This event falls within clause 11(e) of Schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 1974. The Act provides the power for Council to approve temporary road closures for any exhibition, fair, show, market, concert, film-making, race or other sporting event, or public function. Clause 12 of schedule 10 provides the ability (by Council discretion) to delegate the power of approval for temporary prohibition of traffic to any officer of the council EXCEPT for the purpose of cl 11(e).

Therefore, Council resolution is required to approve the temporary road closure to enable the rally to take place on Far North roads.

Take Tūtohunga / Reason for the recommendation

To enable a temporary closure of a number of roads in the Far North to enable the International rally of Whangārei to take place.

3) PĀnga PŪtea me ngĀ wĀhanga tahua / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

There are no direct financial costs associated with the recommendation.
