RAPID

RAPID is short for Rural Area Property Identification. All rural dwellings are given an Identification Plate based on the location of their access point on the road boundary.

The purpose of the RAPID system is to ensure quick and accurate location of rural properties when required by emergency services. Many rural property owners have incorporated their RAPID identification into their postal address.

Copies of the RAPID map book for Timaru District are available for purchase from the Planning Unit, and from Council's service centres in Geraldine and Temuka.
