New Plymouth District Council
Transport
Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

Consider use of rail for log transport as opposed to road. This involves more than New Plymouth District Council but needs to be pushed.
