                                                                                               2505-45871 SRA




Additional advice:

 Access to a State controlled road

 1.          Upon review of the development application, it was determined that the referral trigger
             Schedule 10, Part 9, Division 4, Subdivision 2, Table 5, Item 1 – Operational works if all or
             part of premises is within 25m of a State transport corridor and the work relates to access to
             the corridor, was not applicable for the submitted development application as the ‘premises’
             defined within 25m of the state controlled road, is a local road reserve for which a s62
             under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 (the TIA) could not apply.

             In particular, the Department of Transport and Main Road (DTMR) has issued the following
             advice:

                      The applicant is unable to apply for an access to the state controlled road – as the
                       property does not abut the State-controlled road, therefore DTMR are unable to
                       make a decision under s62 of the TIA.
                      These works cannot be approved via the planning process. The property owner
                       needs to apply to DTMR for a works approval under s33 of the TIA.
                      The local council then further needs to apply to DTMR for a decision to connect a
                       new council road to a State-controlled road under s42 of the TIA.
                      It is noted that the applicant started an associated application under s33 of the TIA
                       over 12 months ago, however after sending an information request and multiple
                       attempts to contact the applicant, DTMR have advised that this application has
                       since lapsed.
                      The applicant will need to submit a new s33 application to undertake these
                       intersection construction works in the State controlled road corridor.
                      The works required must be a public intersection between the State controlled road
                       and Roses Road. A private driveway is not an acceptable standard in this situation.
                      It is advised that DTMR cannot give approvals for the works in the council road
                       corridor, these works are under the council jurisdiction.

             If the location of the driveway access to the State-controlled road is integral to the
             location and design of the submitted waterway barrier works (waterway crossing),
             you are advised to consider withdrawing the application for waterway barrier works
             until such time as the access to the State-controlled road is determined.

If you require further information or have any questions about the above, please contact Kirsty Geaney,
Principal Planning Officer, on 47583414 or via email [email protected] who will be pleased to
assist.

Yours sincerely
