Road Opening Permits Sydney

A road opening permit is a legal requirement for any work that involves digging or excavating a road, footpath, or public space. These permits are required for a range of activities, including roadworks, utilities installation, or maintenance, as well as construction-related tasks that impact public roads. Without a road opening permit, you may not legally carry out any work that disturbs the road surface or public infrastructure.

At First Class Traffic Solutions, we help ensure your road opening permit application meets all local council requirements. We assist in the submission of your application and provide advice on what needs to be included in your traffic management plan, such as how traffic will be redirected, pedestrian access will be maintained, and public safety will be ensured during the works.

Securing a road opening permit and a public domain work permit is a legal obligation that ensures the safety of the public and protects the integrity of Sydney’s infrastructure. These permits regulate how works are carried out in public spaces and ensure the work is done in accordance with city planning regulations. Some key reasons why these permits are essential include:

• Public safety: Protecting pedestrians and drivers is a priority during any work in public spaces. Permits ensure that safety measures are in place, such as road signs, barriers, and traffic management plans.
• Traffic management: For projects that disrupt roads, you need to ensure smooth traffic flow. The permits ensure that traffic control plans are in place to minimise congestion and maintain public safety.
• Regulatory compliance: Without the proper permits, your work could be stopped or result in fines. Obtaining the right permits ensures compliance with local regulations.
• Preserving infrastructure: Road opening permits protect the integrity of roads, footpaths, and public spaces from damage caused by excavation or construction works.

1. Project Assessment: We start by assessing the scope of your project and the areas that need to be impacted. This helps us determine the types of permits you need, including whether a road opening permit, public domain work permit, or both are required.
2. Planning and Documentation: We then help you prepare the necessary documentation. This includes detailed traffic management plans, risk assessments, and how the work will affect the surrounding area. We also work with you to ensure that public safety measures are properly addressed.
3. Submission: Once the documentation is complete, we will submit your permit application to the relevant local authority. We handle the submission process to ensure that everything is accurate and in line with council regulations.
4. Approval Process: Local councils will review your application and may request modifications or additional information. We liaise with the council on your behalf to ensure your application progresses as smoothly as possible.
5. Permit Issuance: Once the application is approved, we will help you secure your road opening permit and public domain work permit. You can then begin your work legally, with all necessary compliance in place.
