Speed sign with car

Due to the recent announcement from the Minister of Transport, and subsequent notification sent to all local Councils, the Selwyn Speed Management plan was withdrawn from the Council agenda on Wednesday 13 December.

Given the uncertain circumstances, the implementation of the current Speed Management Plan may require further changes which could result in additional costs to our communities.

There is limited information currently being released from central government, but the recommendation is clear, that the way speed limits are to be dealt with is changing. We hope to have further information available over the next few months in accordance with the government’s 100-day plan.

Once we have a clear indication of the new process, we will re-commence work on how to review speed limits. Until this time, we cannot give any indication as to when the process or the timeline of any change.

For further information you can read the Government’s media release.
