Requirements
  • Permit required to replace, construct, relocate or modify a crossover — lodged and paid through council's Greenlight online permit system.
  • The contractor's current public liability insurance goes in with the application.
  • Council inspects before the pour — booked with at least 24 hours notice.
  • Initial and final inspection evidence is submitted as photos and video through the Greenlight smartphone app.
  • Built to Hobsons Bay's standard construction drawings; an asset protection bond applies where works could damage public assets.
Council feesShown in council's Greenlight portal at application — we include them in your quote.
Worth knowingAny excavation in the road reserve needs a separate Road Opening Permit. We've done years of footpath and kerb & channel maintenance for Hobsons Bay, so their system is one we use all the time.
