Driveways

A driveway is a vehicular access point for a property adjacent to a road or street crossing over a verge, nature strip and/or footpath.  In most cases, the driveway is formed from the kerb and channel or edge of the carriageway to the property boundary.
 
Any new driveway construction or modifications / upgrades to existing driveways requires the approval from Council in the form of a Driveway Permit.  Refer to the below Driveway Permit Application Kit.

NOTE: Driveways are the property owners responsibility and any associated driveway construction costs, construction actvities and maintenance are not Council's responsibility.
