  • Abandoned Vehicles

    Abandoned vehicles cannot remain in public places or on the roadside for reasons of health, safety and general untidiness.
  • Amusement Devices

    Amusement devices require an inspection before they can be operated. They also require an application form to be filled out and the corresponding fee to be paid.
  • Drones / Unmanned Vehicles

    Property owner consent is required to fly drones/UAVs/Model aircraft over land that is owned, managed or leased by Council. This Policy outlines the approach Manawatu District Council is taking to property owner consent.
