Council has a responsibility to protect public infrastructure such as roads, footpaths, kerbs and drainage assets.
If building works involve vehicles or machinery accessing private land from a Council road, an Asset Protection Permit is required. This ensures appropriate measures are in place to prevent damage to Council assets.
Where damage occurs, the person responsible for the works (owner, builder or appointed agent) must arrange repairs or cover the cost of restoration.
