A permit is required for residents needing to keep any vehicle weighing over 4.5 tonnes or over 7 metres in length.
Keeping our neighbourhoods streets as free from heavy vehicle traffic as possible is a priority for Council By requiring heavy vehicles kept on residential properties to have a permit we are seeking to:
- avoid excessive noise from large trucks
- keep pedestrians and other drivers safe
- prevent damage to footpaths, nature strips, kerbs, street pavements and trees
- minimise fumes and related smells from heavy vehicles.
Permit charges
A non-refundable application fee of $82.20 must be paid when submitting the complete application form.
Once an application is approved a permit fee of $342.20 per annum is required.
