How to make submissions

Anyone can make a submission on a proposed Rule when a draft is published. Submissions, preferably typed, can be mailed to the Rules Team at the address below. If possible, submissions should be emailed to info@nzta.govt.nz or made through the online submission form that is set up when a yellow draft Rule is released for public consultation. Submissions on disk will also be welcomed.

Notices of the release of draft Rules for public consultation are published in the public notice columns of the major metropolitan and regional newspapers.

Draft Rules for public comment are accessible on this website until submissions close. After this time, the most recent draft of a Rule remains on the website for viewing (but not for comment) until the Rule has been finalised and signed into law.

What to include in your submission

If you would like to make a submission you should include:

• the title of the Rule
• your name and title (if applicable)
• your organisation's name (if applicable)
• your address - postal and email
• the Rule provision number(s) you are commenting on.

You should also state clearly if there is any information in your submission that is commercially sensitive or if there is some other reason why you do not want your submission to be released to other interested parties.

If posting your submission, send it to:
