Access and transport charges

Last updated: 1 July 2023

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.
