Horowhenua District Council proposes that several Levin streets be closed on Saturday 6 December 2025 for the annual Horowhenua Christmas Parade.
The parade will begin at the corner of Victoria Street and Weraroa Road, turning right onto Bath Street before finishing on Salisbury Street outside the Levin Domain.
We propose that the following roads be temporarily closed to all ordinary vehicular traffic to enable the parade to travel the planned route:
- Victoria Street will be closed from 11am to 2.30pm to allow floats to gather before the parade begins. While resident access along Victoria Street will be allowed, we ask that no cars be parked on the street during this road closure period.
- Salisbury Street will be closed between 1pm and 6.30pm for the Christmas Carnival at the Levin Domain.
- Weraroa Road between Victoria Street and Bath Street will be closed from 1.45pm to 2.30pm.
- Bath Street between Weraroa Road and Salisbury Street will be closed from 1.45pm to 2.30pm.
- Hannan Street will be closed from 1.45pm to 2.30pm.
- Carlisle Street will be closed from 1.45pm to 2.30pm.
Detour routes will be clearly signposted.
No resident access will be available during the period of these proposed closures.
These closures are proposed under clause 11(e) of the Tenth Schedule of the Local Government Act 1974. The proposed closures will apply to all vehicular traffic with the exception of emergency service vehicles and vehicles directly involved with the events.
Any person objecting to the proposal should lodge written notice of their objection and reasons before 5pm on Monday 24 November 2025 to Horowhenua District Council, Private Bag 4002, Levin 5540 or enquiries@horowhenua.govt.nz.
