Onerahi School's 15-minute parking zone is to become a one-minute drop-off zone, following concerns raised by staff, parents and police.
Whangarei District Council members voted unanimously to establish the one-minute drop-off zone in Church St outside the school.
The school's principal, Gerald Koberstein, and Whangarei's Constable Ian Anderson wrote to the council, supporting a change in the parking limits.
