In accordance with section 161(2) of the Land Transport Act
1998, the NZ Transport Agency, on behalf of the Minister of
Transport, gives notice of the Minister’s intention to make
amendments to 12 Land Transport Rules, and advises that
draft Land Transport Rule: Omnibus Amendment 2008
(Rule 10004) (“the draft Rule”) is available for public
comment.

The draft Rule proposes amendments to the following Land
Transport Rules:

• Driver Licensing 1999 (Rule 91001)
• Heavy-vehicle Brakes 2006 (Rule 32015)
• Operator Licensing 2007 (Rule 81001)
• Operator Safety Rating 2008 (Rule 81002)

The proposed Rule amendments will clarify current
requirements, better align New Zealand requirements with
overseas standards, amend procedural requirements to accord
with industry needs or practices, make requirements more
flexible (without diminishing safety standards), make
consequential changes required as a result of changes
to other land transport legislation, including Rules, and
make other minor changes to Rules.

2008 and information about the amendment proposals can
be obtained by calling the NZ Transport Agency Contact
