Council has resolved to prepare and place on public exhibition a draft Vehicle Crossing (Driveway) & Associated Works Policy. A copy of the draft Policy can be found on the right.
About the Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide a framework for the consistent construction, maintenance and management of all vehicle crossings and Council nature strips within the Strathfield Council Local Government Area.
The objectives of this policy are to:
- Ensure a safe and accessible public domain for pedestrians and members of the public.
- Ensure the vehicle crossing is located for the safest entry and exit to the road
- Minimise the risk of damage to standard cars using the vehicle crossing
- Manage stormwater within the roadway and minimise the risk of stormwater entering private property.
- Avoid conflict with existing infrastructure such as trees, signs, poles, stormwater drainage, utilities and other road features such as roundabouts and medians.
- Ensure the associated works within the vicinity are correctly adjusted and restored to an acceptable standard.
