A new yard gets its hardstand, its fencing and its roller doors, and then the first truck backs out onto the access lane and everyone finds out what the driver cannot see. Group One New Zealand installs convex safety mirrors on Rolleston sites, with crews travelling out from our base at Islington in Christchurch. Sydney Chappell founded the New Zealand company in 2026. Send us the address and we will come out and look at the exit from where the driver sits.
If your trucks reverse into a shared lane
Industrial ground is where these earn their money, and Rolleston has a lot of it. IZONE Southern Business Hub is New Zealand’s largest business park, and the estate is still filling in, so much of the work is on yards where the traffic pattern only became obvious after the tenant moved in.
The positions that come up over and over:
- A yard exit onto a road where the boundary fence hides everything until the cab is already out
- A loading bay or roller door opening onto a lane shared with the neighbours
- A truck manoeuvring corner inside the yard, where a trailer swings across a pedestrian route
- An internal aisle intersection with forklifts and people crossing
- A car park corner or blind ramp at the retail and hospitality end of town
- A site access on a subdivision still under construction, where the road layout changes month to month
That last one matters here more than most places. The town keeps growing, roughly 34,100 residents in 2025 and adding about 4% a year against a national 0.7%, and the build fronts at Acland Park and Faringdon move as stages open. A mirror that answers the site entrance during construction often needs re-aiming, or shifting, when the permanent access goes in.

We drive out, and we aim it before we leave
The crew, the ladder, the post and the level all travel out from Islington together, which is why we ask about yard access when you book rather than turning up and hoping the hardstand is clear.
On site we look at the problem from the driver’s eye position, in the actual vehicle where that is possible, because a mirror set for a car sits wrong for a truck cab. On a yard closed off with , the cab stops in the same place on every trip, which takes one variable out of the sighting. Then it goes onto whatever is already standing, a wall, a column, a gate post, an existing pole, or onto a new post we dig and set. Aiming is the last job: tilt it, sit back in the cab, check it again, adjust. We cover the wider region on the same runs, from Amberley in the north to Timaru in the south and west towards the Canterbury foothills.
Sizing a mirror for a truck, not a car
Viewing distance sets the face diameter. A driver sitting well back in a cab, or looking across a wide yard, needs a bigger face than someone easing a car out of a townhouse driveway, because the approaching vehicle has to be large enough in the reflection to actually read.
Mounting height has to clear what parks in front of it. Set it for an empty yard and the first trailer in the wrong place takes it out of service.
Tilt matters most and cannot be pre-set. A face pointed into a low morning or evening sun goes white at exactly the hour the shift changes, which is the argument for a hooded mirror on an exposed outdoor exit. Get the size right and the angle wrong and the blind spot is still there, with a mirror hanging above it.
Ordering the mirror is the easy part
Any national supplier will courier a convex mirror to your gate, and that side of it is genuinely simple. What no courier can do is stand in your yard and work out which corner it belongs on, how far back, at what height, facing which way, and what it can be fixed to. That is the decision the mirror lives or dies on. Hardware in a carton solves nothing on its own; a mirror sited, mounted and aimed against your real traffic flow is a piece of work someone has to come and do.
Acrylic, polycarbonate or stainless
Acrylic gives the sharpest image and suits indoor and sheltered positions. Polycarbonate absorbs an impact without shattering, which is the sensible choice at forklift height or anywhere a pallet can swing. Stainless steel will not break at all and goes where hard knocks or interference are likely, trading a little clarity for it.
Hooded faces suit outdoor exits with rain, frost and nor’west glare in play. Half domes handle a T-junction in an aisle, full domes a four-way crossing. Mounts go on walls, columns, existing posts and poles, or a new galvanised post, with corrosion protected brackets and aluminium or stainless fixings where the mirror lives outside all year.

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, fences and where a mirror sits
The mirror itself is rarely the consent question. What it is mounted to usually is. Selwyn District Council advises that any fence over 2 metres will need a building consent and may need a resource consent, and specifically requires building consent for fences or walls higher than 2.5 metres. The Council’s fencing guide also notes that in Living Z areas and the Lowes Road ODP area in Rolleston, particular fencing rules apply to the sides of properties facing a road or reserve boundary.
So if the mount is a boundary fence facing a road or a reserve, that is worth a call to the council before anything goes in the ground. Inside your own yard, on your own building, it is generally straightforward, and we install to whatever position the council confirms.
What sits behind a Rolleston quote
Pricing is on quote and follows the site visit. The things that move it:
- The number of mirrors, and whether one well-placed face covers two problems
- Diameter, set by the viewing distance
- Whether there is a sound structure to mount to, or a post has to be dug
- Outdoor exposure, the face material and the fixing grade
- Access, and whether the yard can be worked in traffic or has to wait for a quiet hour
Contact us for bespoke pricing. The quote comes in writing, in New Zealand dollars, after someone has walked the site.

Knocks, re-aims and changed layouts
Trailers clip posts. It happens, and ringing us gets someone back out to straighten and re-aim it. Layout changes are the more common call on a growing site: a new building goes up across the yard, the stack moves, the one-way flow is reversed, and a mirror that was right last summer now shows you a wall. We come out, look again from the cab, and move or re-angle it. We guarantee all the work we do.
Group One New Zealand, and the Rolleston run
An estate still being built out changes shape between the quote and the install, so it helps that the people who priced the job are the ones who come back to aim the mirror. Sydney Chappell founded Group One New Zealand in 2026, and we are a small team, so you know you’ll get the very best. As the company puts it: “Although Group 1 Line Marking has just started here in New Zealand, as a group we have been operating in Australia for almost 25 years.” The rest of the range is set out on our page.

Talk to us about the corner
On an estate that is still being built out, the useful question at the quote stage is not just where the mirror goes today but what the access will look like when the stage is finished. Tell us both and we will site it so the second visit is a re-aim rather than a fresh post.

Questions from site managers
Do you need permission to put up a convex mirror?
On your own site, on your own building, usually not. It depends on what carries it. In Rolleston the Selwyn District Council rules to check are the building consent threshold on fences over 2 metres, the 2.5 metre line for fences and walls, and the fencing rules for Living Z areas and the Lowes Road ODP area where a property side faces a road or reserve boundary.
Are convex mirrors safe to rely on?
They are a visibility aid, not a substitute for looking. A mirror tells a driver whether something is coming, not how fast, and it does not replace easing out slowly. Used that way they are one of the cheapest controls you can put on a yard exit.
What are the disadvantages of convex mirrors?
The curve that widens the view compresses distance, so vehicles look smaller and further away than they are and speed is genuinely hard to judge. Detail also falls away toward the edge of the face. On a fast road frontage that trade-off matters, which is one of the things we talk through on site.
Can you fit mirrors while the site is still being built?
Yes, and on staged subdivisions it is often the right call. Just expect the position to be reviewed once the permanent access is formed, which we will come back and do.
