Application Timeframes

Applications including supporting documentation must be lodged at least ten (10) working days prior to the commencement of any works. Please ensure all required documentation is attached to your application to avoid unnecessary delays.

In the event that your application will need to be submitted to the Local Traffic Committee (LTC) for their review, any recommendations from LTC will be submitted to Council for approval. This process may take a minimum of eight (8) weeks.

Required documents

Each application is tailored to the type of work, and the required documents may differ. Please refer to the individual application checklists for further information.

It is your responsibility to contact ‘Dial Before You Dig’ by calling 1100 to check for any utilities and services, that may be affected by your excavations. 
You are required to contact Council to book inspections and notify when work is completed. 

What restoration and defect liability works am I responsible for?
The applicant will be responsible for restoration of the site until Council is satisfied that the standards have been met.

Who is responsible for safety and public road assets during work/activity?
Any persons undertaking works/activities within the road reserve has a duty of care to ensure the safety of all affected persons, including motorists and pedestrians. Adequate safety systems, documentation and insurance should be implemented in order to avoid or manage an incident should an injury or property damage occur.
