The Roads Act 1993 and the Local Government Act 1993 require that a person does not carry out any activity or works on a public road or place without the approval of Council. In this respect, both the former Bankstown and Canterbury Councils held detailed procedures and specifications aimed at ensuring that, among other things, vehicular crossings were constructed to a suitable standard.

The introduction of a Vehicular Crossing Policy establishes a series of guidelines for the construction, widening, reconstruction and maintenance of vehicular crossings. It also provides guidance for when and how Council will restore vehicular crossings if damage is incurred by Council through the course of its operations

The exhibition period closes on Tuesday 22 August 2017.
