Kinloch
Kinloch is a popular destination for people to live and holiday in. This means there are high pedestrian numbers around the settlement. We are treating the lakefront streets of Kinloch much like town centres across our district and propose 30km/h speed limits along Mata Place, to Marina Terrace and Kinloch Esplanade.
Managing the flow and movement of traffic through a place is also key to creating a safe and appropriate environment for road users as they travel into and out of Kinloch. We need to formalise the current 50km/h speed limit on Oakdale Drive as one of the main access routes for Kinloch. It is important to have 40km/h speed limits on the streets that connect to Oakdale Drive as these are the streets where there are more pedestrians, and children play.
Proposed changes to speed limits
All speeds limits shown in the map and detailed in the street-by-street descriptions below are in km/h.
New streets*
The speed limits in these areas of new development in Kinloch need to be formalised. The change to a 40km/h speed limit on these streets is consistent with our proposed approach of setting this speed limit for residential streets throughout the District.

Oakdale Drive*
Oakdale Drive is a new street. The 50km/h speed limit needs to be formalised.
--------------------------------------------------------
Mata Place to Marina Terrace and Kinloch Esplanade
There are high pedestrian numbers along the Kinloch waterfront streets. Reducing the speed limit to 30km/h is consistent with other high-use pedestrian areas across our District.
