Apply for a permit to occupy a road and/or footpath
Guidelines
Your application must clearly match the works being undertaken, including the location, dates, and space required, and this must align with the Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) submitted. Separate TGSs are required where works move along different sections of road or footpath over multiple days.
Permit conditions vary depending on whether you are using the road, footpath, parking spaces, or excavating Council infrastructure. Road permits may allow free footpath use only while it remains open, footpath closures attract additional fees, personal vehicles are not permitted in paid work zones, restoration fees apply to excavation works, and larger trucks may require specific approvals, route plans, or NHVR approval.
Applicants must follow all notification, timing, and compliance requirements, including resident notification for road closures, normal construction hours, contractor confirmation before applying, and Council notification by midday if approved works will not proceed. Failure to comply with permit conditions may result in revocation of the permit, fines, or immediate stop work orders.
