Vehicle crossings

Vehicle crossings and footpath replacement

Under the City of Stonnington General Local Law 2018, you need a permit to:

  • reinstate
  • repair
  • remove
  • install

a new vehicle crossing or footpath.

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.
