Wellington RatePayer made this Official Information request to Wellington City Council
The request was successful.
From: Wellington RatePayer
Dear Wellington City Council,
To whom it may concern (Planning/Earthworks?):
- What is the national and local regulation on both recommended and max slope permitted for an access way?
- What are defining factors behind the max permitted (runoff, health & safety)
- Where are the rules defined in local and national regulations?
- Does it change depending on material used (formed dirt, gravel, chip seal, asphalt, cement, other)?
- Does it change depending on zone (Urban, Industrial, Mixed, Rural, Other)?
- Does it change depending on the primary possible vehicle (pedestrian, car, tiny home, bus, tractor, other)?
- Does it change depending on whether it is a pedestrian or vehicular way?
For clarities sake, please provide a table sortable by zone, material
- ZONE, MATERIAL, PURPOSE, RECOMMENDED %, MAX %, RELEVANT NOTES
Note: to minimise possible later misunderstandings, please specify whether the gradients provided are specified as % or angle, etc.
If undefined at both a national and local level, does this mean that any angle is permitted for a driveway or other access way?
Sincerely,
Wellington RatePayer
