Limited Licence Lawyer Alexandra

Limited licence application preparation for clients in Alexandra and the wider Otago region.

If you live in Alexandra or Central Otago and have been disqualified or suspended, a limited licence may allow you to keep working.

Central Otago transport

Central Otago has no public transport. There are no buses between Alexandra, Cromwell, Clyde, or any other town in the district. Every journey requires a private vehicle.

Hardship in Central Otago

The complete lack of transport alternatives makes hardship arguments clear. Central Otago's economy depends on industries that require driving — viticulture, orchards, farming, and construction — and there is simply no other way to get to work.

Common situations include vineyard and orchard workers, dam and hydro workers, and tradespeople working across the district.

Employment and industry

Central Otago's economy is driven by viticulture (particularly pinot noir production), stone fruit orchards, farming, and tourism. The Clyde Dam and hydroelectric operations employ specialist workers. Construction is significant due to the region's growth. Cromwell's fruit industry is a major seasonal employer.

Frequently asked questions — Alexandra

Yes. Vineyard work in Central Otago, where there is no public transport, is a clear situation where driving is essential for employment. The rural location of most vineyards means there is no realistic alternative.
