Driveways


Driveways/Property Accesses

Construction and maintenance of driveways, property accesses, or pipe crossings are the responsibility of property owners.

Council has construction standards for driveways. It is particularly important that an access does not block a stormwater drainage flowpath or create a hazard for traffic or vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Please contact Roads and Drainage section on 1300 883 699 for advice on the correct type of construction for your driveway.

Any construction on a road reserve (including road shoulders and footpath) requires Council approval prior to commencement of works. Approval can be sought by writing to Council advising of the details of the proposed construction.
