Driveways & Vehicle Crossings

If the driveway is only on private land please refer to Clause 2.27 of SEPP (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008.

If the driveway crosses the nature strip and/or footpath, you will need to refer to the Vehicular Crossing Policy which outlines procedures for gaining access from a public road to a private property across a public footpath.

These procedures ensure that the safety of other road users and pedestrians are not compromised and that no damage is caused to the road or footpath.

A proposal for a new crossing will need to satisfy both planning and engineering requirements before it can proceed.

As well as the Vehicular Crossing Policy you will also need to refer to:

• Vehicular Crossing Construction Specifications
• Vehicular Crossing Application Form
• Vehicular Crossings and Roadworks - Certificate of Compliance Form

If you need help completing the application form or for answers to frequently asked questions please refer to the Information Sheet.
