Permit before work
Council states crossover work in the road reserve requires a Road Reserve Works Permit.
What the job involves
The section between a property boundary and road is a public-asset interface. Its levels, drainage and construction can be controlled separately from the private driveway.
Decisions that shape the scope
Preserve drainage
The crossing must work with kerb, table drains, footpaths and stormwater paths.
Use the current standard
Property conditions and council drawings can change.
Allocate responsibility
The quote should identify who handles applications, inspections or restoration.

Ask each responding provider to put the proposed scope, assumptions, exclusions and responsibilities in writing. A lower figure is not a saving if it omits preparation, access, disposal, approvals or completion work that another quote includes.
