Vehicle crossings

Under the City of Stonnington General Local Law 2018, you need a permit for any new or changed vehicle crossing or footpath. This includes:

  • reinstate
  • repair
  • remove
  • install. 

This permit also relates to applications for reinstatement (repairs) to damaged sections of land on a private property frontage, such as footpath, laneway, kerb & channel or road.

For arterial roads, consent is required from VicRoads. A planning permit issued by Council's Planning Unit is required to address the suitability of the proposal.

Applications take a minimum of eight weeks to assess, provided no further information or changes are required. Please submit your application well in advance, as there are often longer assessment periods required.
