Approval is required when carrying out an activity or doing work within a road reserve.
A public road reserve is the area including the road surface, its shoulders, gutters, verges, footpaths and nature strips. It's the entire space between property boundaries across the roadway.
Council aims to ensure that activities and work on our roads are carried out safely, minimise impact on traffic, and maintain valuable public assets.
