Property owners are responsible for maintaining their driveway crossovers where they connect to council roads. Find out what’s required and how to ensure your access is compliant.
Who is responsible for my driveway crossover?
The installation and maintenance of property accesses, which connect the public road to a private driveway, is the responsibility of the property owner who benefits from the access.
What should I do if my property access is not compliant with standards?
If your property access is not compliant with the Tasmanian Standard Drawings, we suggest upgrading it to these standards. A compliant access will help to prevent damage to the property access, the driveway and the road. The property owner is responsible for the maintenance and compliance of the property access. You may need to apply for a permit to carry out works within the Council road reservation. Please contact Council for further information.
How does the council handle storm damage to private driveways
Council is not responsible for maintaining private driveways. Upgrading the property access to a compliant access can help manage water flow and prevent damage. You may need to apply for a permit to carry out works within the Council road reservation. If you need further information on upgrading the access, please contact us.
