Limited Licence Lawyer Dunedin

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

Dunedin District Court handles limited licence applications for the wider Otago region. If you have been disqualified or suspended, we prepare court-ready applications.

Dunedin and Otago

Dunedin combines a city centre with reasonable bus coverage with surrounding areas that have limited or no public transport. Workers in the health sector, education, construction, and trades form the bulk of limited licence applicants in the Otago region.

The Dunedin Hospital project is creating significant construction employment, with workers commuting from across the region. Losing a licence during this period creates particular hardship for construction workers and tradespeople.

Our service

We prepare complete limited licence applications for $749 + GST. Court filing fees and the NZTA reinstatement fee are payable separately.

Public transport in Dunedin

Dunedin has a limited Orbus bus service covering the city and main suburbs. The hilly terrain means some areas are not well served. Evening and weekend services are reduced. Workers in the Mosgiel, Port Chalmers, and Taieri areas have limited bus options.

Employment and industry

Education (University of Otago, Otago Polytechnic), healthcare (Dunedin Hospital), manufacturing, logistics, and agricultural services are the main employers. The construction sector is growing, particularly with the new Dunedin Hospital project.

Frequently asked questions — Dunedin

Dunedin handles most Otago applications, but some may be filed at other courts depending on where the offence was dealt with. Queenstown has its own District Court for applications from the Queenstown-Lakes area.
