Application form to form a vehicle crossing

All applications will follow a specific process.

Properties without a VX license will have the following LIM note:
We do not currently hold a compliant vehicle crossing application for this property. Vehicle Crossings - Any new or upgraded vehicle crossing requires approval from Council's Infrastructure and Property Department prior to installation. Applications to install a new vehicle crossing or upgrade an existing one can be made online via the SDC website (Selwyn District Council - Application to Form a Vehicle Crossing (Entranceway)). For any questions regarding the process please contact the VX team via email at entranceways@selwyn.govt.nz for more info. NB Council will not maintain a Vehicle Entranceway that has not followed due process.

Please read the Specific Conditions of the Vehicle Crossing Information Pack before making the application.

For more information regarding CARs & TMPs, please visit Selwyn District Council - Working on the Road

Please provide as much information as possible.

Your permit is valid for 12 months with your vehicle crossing to be completed within that period.

It is the property owner's responsibility to arrange and pay for the construction of a vehicle crossing.
