New yard, fresh concrete, nothing protecting anything yet. Most of the bollards Group One New Zealand installs in Rolleston go in at that stage, before a truck has had the chance to find the corner of a building. Our crews travel out from the Islington base in Christchurch, and Sydney Chappell started the New Zealand company in 2026. Send through the site plan, or just the address, and we will come and mark up where they need to stand.
Getting them in before the site opens
Rolleston is the fastest growing town in the country, running at about 4% a year against a national 0.7%, and IZONE Southern Business Hub keeps adding yards, docks and staff car parks. That timing works in your favour. Bollards designed in while the slab is being poured cost less trouble than bollards cut into a finished surface a year later.
Here is how a job runs:
- Site visit and measure up. We walk the area with you, work out what needs protecting and from which direction, then mark each position against the vehicles that actually use the site.
- Services and boundaries located. Nothing is dug until we know what is underneath and where the title line sits. On a new subdivision or industrial lot that matters more than usual, because recently laid services are not always where the plan says.
- Footing or base plate. In-ground bollards get a hole taken past the base course into ground that will hold, then set plumb with concrete around and usually inside them. Depth follows the diameter and height of the bollard and what we find on the way down. Surface-mount bollards bolt to an existing slab instead, which suits a floor that cannot be broken into.
- Reinstatement. Asphalt patched, concrete made good, seal or pavers put back, so a new car park does not open with scars around every post.

How far apart bollards should sit
Auckland Transport publishes the clearest New Zealand reference on bollard spacing, and it gives two figures worth designing to. Allow at least 1.8 metres of clearance between bollards and the kerb. Allow at least 1.2 metres between bollards where a run crosses an entranceway, which is what keeps a wheelchair, a pram or a mobility scooter moving through the gap.
Those are Auckland Transport’s numbers, not a Selwyn District Council rule. Use them as the design starting point, then test them against your own traffic. A rigid truck swinging into a loading dock needs more room than a courier van. Too tight and drivers clip them weekly. Too generous and something gets through the gap the bollards were installed to stop.
Fixed, removable or fold-down
The fixing method follows what has to keep getting past.
- Fixed in-ground where nothing should ever pass: a shopfront, a switchboard, a gas meter, the corner a trailer keeps cutting. Concrete footing, and it stays there.
- Surface-mount for a rack leg, a column or an internal pedestrian route where excavation is off the table.
- Removable bollards lift out of a ground socket that caps off flush, so nobody trips on it. This is the yard gate that opens twice a year for a crane or an oversized delivery.
- Fold-down bollards hinge at the base and lock upright, which suits a daily or weekly opening where hunting for a lifted post and somewhere to store it gets old fast.
Selwyn District Council took the same approach on the Rolleston town centre promenade, installing electronic bollards at either end so only approved service and emergency vehicles can get in. The principle scales down: decide who has to get through and how often, then pick the bollard that suits that rhythm.
Galvanised steel handles yards and industrial frontages. Powder coating adds colour at a public entrance. Stainless steel goes where appearance carries weight.
Ordering steel versus getting it stood up
A bollard bought online arrives at your gate on a pallet. Everything that makes it work is still ahead of you: agreeing where it stands so the truck route still functions, confirming nothing is buried under the spot, cutting the hole, holding the post plumb while the concrete goes off, then making the surface good again. Sites get this wrong in predictable ways, most often by placing bollards where they look tidy rather than where a vehicle actually travels. That judgement is the service. The steel is only the part you can see.
What the quote turns on
Bollards are priced per site, on quote, once we have walked it. The things that move the figure:
- Bollard type and diameter, and the height it stands
- Fixed, removable or fold-down
- How many units go in
- In-ground footing or surface-mount base plate
- The existing surface: asphalt, concrete, gravel, kerb
- Access to the area, and when the crew can have it
- Reinstatement afterwards

Great job and no complaints!
Wonderful to work with and helping us get our line marking completed. Would definitely use again and refer to others.
Highly Recommend Group 1 Linemarking!
We recently hired Group 1 Linemarking for a few of our residential strata projects, and the results exceeded our expectations. The team was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced. The line marking was crisp, precise, and done exactly to spec. Communication throughout the process was smooth, and they were flexible with scheduling, which made things a lot easier on our end. If you need reliable, high-quality line marking services, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Group 1. Great job!
Working with Syd and his team is always a pleasure
The quality of work is always to a high standard. The Group One team is always professional, they apply a high standard for safety ensuring their SWMS is tailored for the job and their equipment is serviced and well maintained. I highly recommend Group One and if you use them you won’t be disappointed.
Selwyn District Council, and whose land it is
On your own title, inside your own boundary, bollards are generally yours to place. Once the work reaches a road boundary, a vehicle crossing, a berm or a reserve, Selwyn District Council is the one to talk to, and we raise it during the site visit rather than after the hole is cut.
If your bollards are part of a wider boundary job, two published council positions are worth reading. Selwyn District Council advises that any fence over 2 metres tall requires a building consent and may need a resource consent, and lists fences or walls higher than 2.5 metres as requiring building consent. Its fencing guide also notes that in Living Z areas and the Lowes Road ODP area in Rolleston, specific fencing rules apply to the sides of properties facing road or reserve boundaries. Bollards are not fences, so confirm the detail with the council for your address.

On an estate where yards back onto each other and access lanes get shared, a bollard is rarely only your business. The post that gets clipped every week is usually the one placed to suit one tenancy while the driver next door goes on turning in the way they always have. Tell us who else uses the approach and we will mark it up with both of you in mind.

Questions Rolleston customers ask
How much does it cost to have bollards installed?
On quote. The bollard itself is the predictable part of the job. Whether it is cored into an existing slab or footed in fresh ground, how much surface has to be made good afterwards, and how many go in are what actually set the price, so the visit comes before the number.
Are driveway bollards expensive?
Deep enough to reach ground that will hold the load, past the base course. There is no single number, because a 165 mm post protecting a warehouse column and a slim decorative bollard at a townhouse entrance are not doing the same work.
How deep do they go?

We are building at IZONE. When should bollards be part of the plan?
As early as the car park layout. Positions set at design stage can be cored or boxed out while the slab is being poured, and the line marking, kerbing and bollards all end up agreeing with each other rather than being negotiated later.
