Roads and Driveways
District Councils are responsible for local roads and Transit New Zealand is responsible for state highways. Private driveways are the responsibility of private landowners.
Check whether access driveways from public roads are part of the property or crosses other land.
Make sure any right of way is recorded on the title.
Check that any right of way shown on paper matches up with the formed access.
Check the location of any dwelling in relation to other people's or shared driveways - vehicles using driveways can cause dust.
