The Manukau District Court handles limited licence applications for the South Auckland area. If you have lost your licence through disqualification or demerit point suspension, we prepare court-ready applications for filing at Manukau.
South Auckland transport challenges
South Auckland's industrial character means many workers need vehicles to reach workplaces that are not well served by public transport. Warehouse workers, factory staff, and tradespeople in areas like East Tamaki, Wiri, and Mangere often work shifts that don't align with bus schedules. For workers who start before 6am or finish after 10pm, public transport is simply not available.
Employment hardship in South Auckland
The manufacturing and logistics sector in South Auckland is highly vehicle-dependent. Delivery drivers, warehouse workers, contractors, and factory staff often have no practical alternative to driving. For families where the primary income earner works in these sectors, losing a licence can have severe financial consequences.
We prepare hardship arguments that are specific to your circumstances — the court requires particularised evidence, not general statements about needing to drive.
Our fixed fee service
We prepare complete limited licence applications for $749 + GST. This includes your affidavit, supporting affidavit, boundary map, draft court order, and filing guidance. Court fees and the NZTA reinstatement fee are payable separately.
