The rules

What Darebin requires

PermitVehicle Crossing Permit (two-step)
Requirements
  • Two-step process: a crossover application (with drawing and any planning/building permit details), then a construction permit before works.
  • Under Darebin's Vehicle Crossing Policy, new crossovers are only considered where the property has no suitable rear access.
  • Construction follows council's crossover specification document.
  • Inspections can need up to 14 days notice — we build that into the programme.
  • The property owner is responsible for the crossing and the adjacent footpath condition.
Council fees2025/26: about $209 application + $338 construction permit; fees update each July.
Worth knowingDarebin has one of the stricter approval philosophies in Melbourne — getting the application right the first time matters more here than anywhere.
