Advocating for the Prevention of Driveway Run Over Injuries

Keeping kids safe is a shared responsibility between families, communities, organisations, and decision makers. Local governments are very well placed to effectively prevent driveway run over injuries to children. This is because they can include driveway safety information within their District Plans, Annual Plans and other documents. Council's Annual Plans outline spending and District Plans provide guidance and rules on land use. These documents guide the rules and standards used to control development of land within a district.

Below are two useful documents that can help you advocate for the prevention of Driveway Run Over Injuries in your city, district or community.

This submission template includes both a draft cover letter and a draft submission which includes relevant, detailed information about the prevention of driveway run over injury. Download the template and fill in your name and organisation details. Add relevant local information - for instance particular local issues. Deliver the completed submission in your preferred way and be prepared to speak to it or to answer any questions about the submission.
