Fuzen Entertainment has applied to Kaipara District Council for restrictions from 6am on December 30 until midday on January 1.
Settlement Road would be closed to through traffic, with access restricted to residents. Residents-only restrictions would also apply to Valley Road between Settlement and Pritchard roads, and Lawrence Road between Valley and Cames roads.
The proposed closures are due to be considered at the council’s November 25 meeting.
