Emergency services were called to upper Stuart Street at about 11.15am this morning.
The truck which is subcontracted to the council's road maintenance contractor crashed outside the King Edward Court building, causing oil, mud and water from the tanker to spill across the road.
The driver was not trapped following the crash and was treated for minor injuries.
The Dunedin City Council will carry out a health and safety investigation.
A police spokesperson said the commercial vehicle safety team was investigating the crash and it was too early to comment on its cause.
