When is a Vehicle Crossing permit required?
A permit is required for the installation of a new Vehicle Crossover (driveway). A new driveway can only be installed with City of Port Phillip approval as the care and management of roads, on behalf of all residents, belongs to council. Several issues are considered before a permit can be issued, such as whether the property is in a heritage area, if other services are affected, public safety and pedestrian movement.
