Corridor access
How corridor access fees are determined:
- Project works, major works, and minor works are as defined by the National Code of Practice for Utility Operators’ Access to Transport Corridors.
- The Council may at its discretion allow for multiple sites to be included in a single CAR application with a single fee being charged. Applicants shall, if they consider there is a case to combine multiple sites, provide the Council with the justification for a combined application fee.
- Possible examples where a single fee may be considered are as follows:
- repetitive works of a minor nature requiring minimal or no excavation works,
- minor works on multiple sites (maximum of four to five minor streets); and
- main contractor managing multiple works but located on a single site.
