Road Work Permit (commercial & residential)

Overview

This application is for a road work permit that allows work to be undertaken on the road reserve (driveways, hoarding, etc.).

There will be no inspections required for the self-assessable road work permits. An audit process will review a proportion of the self-assessable road works to ensure compliance with the conditions.

Council approval is required before carrying out any work within the road reserve, under Subordinate Local Law 1.15 (Carrying out works on a road or interfering with a road or its operation) and Subordinate Local Law 1.1 (Alteration or improvement to local government controlled areas and roads). Work must not commence prior to receiving the permit.

Refer to Driveways and other works in the road reserve for general information on driveways and other works in the road reserve.

Note: Some residential driveways are eligible for a self-assessment process. To find out if you are eligible and/or lodge an application, please refer to the Road Work Permit (self assessable) application form.

Note: An asterix (*) indicates that a question must be answered.
