Filming in Papakura

Our diverse scenery from the Hunua Ranges to the Hingaia waterways, makes the District an ideal location for all types of filming.

The Council has applied for Film Friendly certification, and is part of 'Auckland Film' with other Territorial Local Authorities in the wider Auckland region. We mean to keep filming in our District as simple as possible.

All filming that occurs in the public locations or that impacts on local traffic, must seek filming approval from the Council. Contact the Council’s Events Co-ordinator to discuss your filming requirements and whether you require Council approval, prior
to filming.

If you do require approval, the Council has a simple form that can be emailed for completion and return. Our Events Co-ordinator facilitates the filming approval process through Council on your behalf, and becomes your point of contact to ensure approval is received as quickly as possible.

Temporary Road Closures for Filming and Events

Events and filming that require a temporary road closure must receive approval from the Council. The Council recommends discussing your temporary road closure request with our Events Co-ordinator who will will advise you of requirements and an indication of when you could expect to receive approval.

It is important to note. that the Council do not manage road closures for filming and events. This is the responsibility of the organiser to ensure that adequate resources are provided to implement the temporary road closure.

For a temporary road closure you need:

Submit a written request for the temporary road closure including such details as which roads, reason for road closure, date and time of road closure, contact person on the date of the road closure and if the event/filming will be cancelled due to weather. and reason for closure
A Traffic Management Plan (compiled by an authorised traffic controller) detailing who will be implementing the traffic management plan for the event/filming

Both the request and the plan should be given to the Events Co-ordinator at the Council. The Events Co-ordinator than facilitates this request through the Council on your behalf.
