You will require approval from Bayside Council under the Roads Act 1993 if you are planning to construct a new driveway crossing, reconstruct, repair, or remove an existing driveway crossing on Bayside Council’s land. You must also apply for the construction of associated works like footpaths, kerbs and gutters.
A driveway crossing is a vehicular access point for a property from a road or street. The driveway crossing starts at the kerb, crosses over the verge/nature strip and footpath, and ends at the property boundary.
We have three types of applications:
- A driveway crossing associated with a Development Application (DA)
- A driveway crossing associated with a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) This application is broken down into two stages
- A driveway crossing not associated with a DA or CDC. In certain circumstances you may be eligible to reconstruct an existing driveway crossing, or construct a new driveway crossing, without a DA or CDC approval.
