PARKING AND DROP OFF
On-Site Parking - Very Limited
- Parking is extremely limited and very boggy; this is suitable only for 4WD vehicles.
- Parking is available on a first-in, first-served basis until full. This car park will be on lockdown during the duration of the event until 1:00 pm or until it is deemed safe for vehicles to leave.
Off-Site Parking Options
- Public parking and roadside parking will be available at the locations below.
- Hobson Street – two parking spaces and roadside parking.
- Ohaeawai Rugby Club carpark – 6066 State Highway 12
- All off-site parking options will require a 300 – 450 meter walk to the event venue.
Drop off & pick up (Buses Only)
- There will be a coned slip lane where buses can drop off/pick up passengers on the SH1 at the entrance to the farm. Please follow instructions from our Traffic controllers at all times. You will need to proceed to the designated BUS parking at Vertex Lubricants – 13 State Highway 1, Ohaeawai.
Buses will have to be contacted by sport coordinator when all students are ready to be collected- Please ensure you have your Bus Drivers contact details. Students won’t be allowed to walk to the entrance until the sports coordinator had contacted the bus for pick up.
The bus will have to follow the same process as the drop off and will have to pull into the slip lane to collect the students.
Please make sure this is done in a timely manner to reduce any congestion it the state highway.
Important Safety Note:
- A clearly marked path has been established from Hobson Street to the event venue, with marshals on duty. You must remain within this at all times.
