This feature class contains all "ACTIVE" encroachments. Inactive historical_encroachments are stored here: \\civic\gis$\Technology_management\Data_management\Ongoing_encroachments\Data || An Encroachment is a structure on road reserve. Road encroachments occur when an individual uses Council road reserve (formed and unformed legal road including footpaths) for private purposes such as fence, retaining wall, garage, carport, building, porch, house deck, balcony. Due to Wellington’s steep and hilly environment most road encroachments are for residential car parking purposes. Only a limited number of commercial encroachments exist in Wellington, mainly for parking and signage. Driveways are not considered encroachments. Examples include: - Garages - Cardecks, carports or carpads - Balconies - Retaining walls - Cable cars - Gates and fences - Covered access ways - Porches - Decks - Underground carparking or foundations |
