This is to ensure that assets within road reserves are protected and reinstated to their original state after works have been carried out in the road reserve.
This permit is required if works are being undertaken within our road reserves such as:
• Stormwater Drainage and Pit Installations
• Vehicle Crossing Construction and Modification
• Footpath and Kerbing Replacement
• Water Supply and Sewer Connections
• Road Works
Permit Applicant

The application submission should include the following documents:

3) A copy of the contractor’s current Certificate of Currency including Public Liability Insurance for up to $10 million
4) A plan of the proposed location and works including a reference to any IDM Standard Drawing being used.
For a more detailed description of the plan requirements, the engineers have listed the following:
Council's adopted Infrastructure Design Manual (found at http://www.designmanual.com.au) provides information in Section 6, on how plans should be prepared .
For simple works, engineers may accept a neat ‘to scale’ plan with all key information including:
• offset measurements to reference the location of works,
• all dimensions of work,
• any vegetation clearing and or insitu earth / table drain works, and
• where possible, a reference to the IDM standard drawings to be used.
Council reserves the right to ask for the full IDM section 6 requirements if the extent of works is unclear.
Hope this is helpful. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me using the below details.
Public Liability Insurance
Public Liability insurance ensures that the public are safe and liability for any accidents is covered by the person undertaking these construction works on your behalf. A minimum of $10 million worth of pubic liability cover is required. Applicants are advised that proof of cover in the form of a Certificate of Currency is necessary before the application can be filled out on your behalf. We keep a Public Liability Register for this purpose to make things easier for repeat applicants. Each year a new Certificate of Currency must be supplied before any new applications can be lodged.
Fees
Each permit is assessed on the requirements of the job, depending on location, type of work, etc. The Permit Fee must be paid at the time of application.
Reinstatement
The works manager may undertake reinstatement of affected infrastructure to Council standards. However, if Council Works Unit is requested to undertake the reinstatement a private works order form must be completed and signed by the customer.
Inspections
Depending on the works, if you require an inspection, please contact our Development Liaison Unit on (03) 5522 2328, giving a minimum 24 hours notice.
