We appreciate there has been a lot of community concern regarding the proposed logging operations in Plimmerton. At this point, the logging company does not have a set route to undertake their logging operation. We understand the logging company are considering their route options and have delayed their operations until November.

Our involvement to date has been to understand what they are proposing and to ensure the safety of residents and road users. We will continue to work with both the logging company and the community.

We will update this section with any new developments.

Weight concerns

Our roading engineers have not raised concerns regarding the weight of the logging trucks operating on our roads.

Motuhara Road

In June 2024, our geotechnical engineers confirmed the risk to the slip from heavy vehicles was low and it was not necessary to ban them from the road. They were specifically asked to consider heavy vehicles and logging trucks within the legal loading and size requirements (non-HPMV).

The engineers suggested installing temporary bollards to prevent any heavy vehicles from coming close to that side of the road, which were installed.
