SailGP - Resident permits

SailGP | Aotearoa New Zealand

During the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix Christchurch, road closures will prevent vehicles from entering Lyttelton from midday to around 6.00pm on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th March.

Lyttelton residents with a clearly displayed vehicle access pass, emergency vehicles, public transport and port vehicles will be able to access the area at all times, including through the scheduled road closures. Traffic can leave Lyttleton at all times.

Organisers will issue affected households with one permit each, distributed via a letter drop scheduled this month. If you feel you require additional passes, you will be able to collect these from the Lyttelton Information Centre from 1 st - 17 th March 2023 between the hours of 10.00am - 3.00pm.

Please remember that traffic management measures are in place to mitigate unwanted impacts on the local community. As such, there will be no access passes issued for visiting friends and family, so we kindly ask that you do not share your pass with those living outside the area if you plan to stay home.

Businesses that require passes for employees and/or contractors and suppliers will also be able to collect these from the Lyttelton Harbour Information Centre. Please bring a letter from your employee.
