This is the former Manukau City Council website, which has some of the information and services you need if you live or do business in the area. Go to the main Auckland Council website to access the complete range of council services.

Right of entry.

A right of entry must be obtained from council if you wish to:

  • Enter a park or reserve to work with machinery
  • Enter a park or reserve to excavate
  • Take a vehicle through a park to access your property

Gaining a right of entry is not guaranteed. Weather conditions may be detrimental or the proposed use may have a negative impact on the park.

There is an administration fee of $135 which is non refundable.  This fee covers processing inspections of the site prior and post use.

The right of entry provides a financial back up for any damages that may occur on the park during the customer's time there.

There is also a bond which ranges from $1,000 to $50,000 depending on:

  • What is being taken into the park (e.g. diggers, trucks)
  • The purpose (e.g. storage of materials, containers, excavations)
  • The length of time of use of the park.

Providing that we are satisfied with the park re-instatement after the completion of the job, there will be a full refund of the bond.

Please remember that because of OSH (Occupational Safety and Health) regulations the site becomes a work site and therefore you are responsible for all safety until the work is completed.
