Road:

includes any street, or private street which provides for vehicular access to the property in question.

RAPID system:

  2. Where the Council changes the number allocated, the said owner or occupier shall display the changed number in substitution for the existing number, at the earliest opportunity, but in any case no longer than one month from being advised of the change.
  3. Where any numbers marking any area of land on which a building is located or any building, or part of a building are obliterated, defaced or removed, the owner or occupier shall restore or replace the said numbers at the earliest opportunity, or within such period as the Council might direct.
  4. Where any property is zoned for any residential, commercial or industrial purpose under the Nelson Resource Management Plan a number shall be deemed to be visible from the road if it is affixed in accordance with the following:
    1. If affixed to the building, part of the building or other structure associated with the building at or on the street boundary, including on a sign board at the street boundary of the property, the height of such numbers is no less than 50mm.
    2. If affixed to the building, part of the building or other structure associated with the building, other than at or on the street boundary, the height of such numbers is sufficient to enable them to be read from the road.
  5. Where any property is zoned for any rural purpose under the Nelson Resource Management Plan a number shall be deemed to be displayed in a position visible from the road if it is of a size and type, and affixed in a position at the entrance to the property, which conforms to the standards adopted in respect of the RAPID system.
