Works zone application

Your application will be assessed on the likely impact of the work on traffic, parking and residents/businesses.

Stopping in a Work zone -NSW Road Rules 2014 permits any driver to stop in work zones provided they’re in a vehicle that is:

• Engaged in construction work in or near the zone, or
• Dropping off, or picking up, passengers.

Additional processing time is required to refer applications to the Bayside Traffic Committee for determination, as a work zone may impact traffic, parking and/or residents/businesses. Applications can take up to a minimum of ten (10) weeks to be successfully actioned.

See below for the Work Zone Permit approval process:

• Your application will be assessed and presented to the Bayside Local Traffic Committee for review and recommendation and subsequently be formally approved at a Council meeting. The Council and Committee meetings schedule can be found here.
• The Bayside Local Traffic Committee and/or Council may impose additional conditions of approval.
• You will be provided with an invoice of applicable fees and associated conditions if the application is approved.
• Signage will be installed within three (3) weeks of invoice payment.
