When is a Work Zone permit required?

A Work Zone permit is issued to provide dedicated parking for workers vehicles during the construction period.

The permit allows for the use of four parking bays or 24 metres of road (whichever is the lesser) to be used for construction vehicles to park.  Work Zones must be located in front of the building site. 

Work Zone signage will take approximately two weeks to install once a permit issued.

Please note:

1. The following hours of operation apply: 7.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Saturday.  All clearway restrictions are overriding. 
2. Vehicles parked in Work Zones not displaying the permit are liable for parking fines.
3. Payment must be made prior to any sign installation.
4. Where a Work zone is installed in existing paid parking areas, an additional cost equivalent to a cumulative total to the maximum fee charged per day for the period of the installation is required.
5. A separate permit is required for the placement of bins or other construction equipment on public land.
6. The permit is not effective until signage is installed.

The applicant is required to:

• provide a site plan/drawing clearly showing the size of the Work Zone (i.e. number of parking bays required) and the location of the Work Zone;
• provide a copy of a letter of consent from the adjacent property owners stating that they do not object to the Work Zone in front of their property;
• complete the Work Zone Permit Application; and
• pay the relevant permit fee and any additional parking bay charges.
