Council submission checklist

A stronger council submission aligns the TMP, CAR, WAP details, dates, scope, road impacts, work method, drawings and contact information before review.

Council submission checklist guide for New Zealand TMP, CAR and road corridor planning

Plain-English explanation

The key points, split into simple blocks so the page is useful without feeling like a wall of text.

01

Before submission

Align the TMP, CAR, WAP details, dates, scope, road impacts, work method, drawings and contact information. Check that names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses are current and that the work description matches the plans.

02

During review

Respond promptly to RFIs, keep a comment tracker and do not change the work method without updating the TMP and CAR. Version control helps the reviewer see what changed between submissions.

03

After comments

Update all affected documents, not just the one the comment was on. A TMP change often means the CAR, WAP or drawing also needs updating. Send a clean version and a marked-up version if that helps the reviewer.

Contractor checklist

Before you request help

FAQ

Common questions

Who reviews the TMP or CAR?

The relevant council, RCA or network owner reviews the submission. Our role is to help make the information clearer, more complete and easier to respond to.

What do you need before starting?

Send the work location, scope, dates, site plans or markups, methodology, hours of work, access needs, photos if available, and any RCA comments already received.

Can you work with our on-road crew or traffic management provider?

Yes. Your TMP Designer focuses on the planning, documentation and drawing support around the job. If your project also needs on-road setup, equipment or training, we can keep the TMP, CAR/WAP and drawing information aligned while those field services are arranged with the right provider.

From scope to submission

Send the scope. We will tell you what is needed.
