A crossover is the connection of an accessway/driveway, from the edge of the property to the road, that often crosses a footpath, nature strip or footpath. Your crossover allows vehicles to move between the property and the road.

Vehicle crossovers are an important element in residential and commercial buildings, as they allow the drive between the garage and the road, safely.

Although a complete crossover might not attract attention, there is plenty of work involved in a council asset replacement. This includes:

• Asset Protection Bond
• Dial before you dig report
• Traffic Management Plan
• Road Opening permit
• Footpath closure permit
• Traffic management
• Public Liability Insurance

If that sounds like the type of council admin you’d rather avoid… you can! At Concept Concrete we manage the process for you so you can sit back knowing you’re staying compliant with council regulations.

If you’re seeking a new access (or changes to an existing access) from your property, a council planning permit is required. Once a planning permit has been issued by the responsible authority, a vehicle crossing permit and/or road opening permit will still be required from your local council for the works to be undertaken.

Your local council will consider a number of factors when determining the crossover requirements at your property. This includes:

• How vehicles enter and exit the road
• Proposed crossover design (including location, width, angle and line of sight)
• Existing road conditions (including traffic volume, speed and existing infrastructure)
• Work that might be required by the site developer to make sure the crossover and road network operate safely (including provision of slip lanes, traffic islands, and traffic signals).
• Any traffic management required whilst the works are being undertaken
• Nature strip conditions. During the process it is important to also take into consideration verticity to trees, Telstra pits, electrical pits and council drainage. This is a major consideration from council when determining the width and location of crossovers.

Even if consent for works is not required, all works in the road reserve are required to be done safely. This means that the preparation of a traffic management plan is necessary.

A traffic management plan is required to ensure that your work is conducted in a manner that is safe for road users and workers on the road.

At Concept Concrete, we will work with you and your local Melbourne council to ensure the new driveway follows and meets all safety regulations. We will assist with paperwork, insurance requirements and booking of inspections with your local council.
