Corridor Access Requests (CAR)
If you are planning any kind of work or activity on or near a road, footpath, or roadside area, you need permission from the Council.
In a nutshell, a Corridor Access Request (CAR) is a permit required by Council. We apply for a CAR through an online portal called Submitica.
Once the CAR is approved you will be issued with a Work Access Permit (WAP) which is the legal document for you to be working on the Road Corridor.
What are the steps of applying for a Corridor Access Request?
- For all applications, have a TMP ready to upload (must be written by a ticketed TMP writer)
- For any work that requires excavation/trenching have an underground services plan ready
- Open the CAR through Submitica
- Load the TMP and any other required documents to the CAR (consents, underground services, road user license)
- Submit the application to Council
- Work with Council to approval stage
- Council adds Conditions and a Work Access Permit to the CAR
- Council approves the CAR
- Approved CAR, TMP, and WAP are issued
- Work can now commence with the approved traffic management in place
