MyWorksites is a new way of applying for corridor access requests (CARs), works access permits (WAPs) and approval of traffic management plans (TMPs).

MyWorksites is a new cloud-application that Council and Christchurch Transport Operations Centre (CTOC) will be using to process CARs, WAPs and TMPs. MyWorksites will be the only way to submit these from 12 November 2018.

MyWorksites captures better information on the impact and status of roadworks, making it easier to manage our network.
