Stakeholder Approvals
Stakeholder approval is required through a road occupancy licences for any activity likely to impact on the operational efficiency of the road network, in other words, an activity that requires the road to be used in such a way as to affect traffic flow, or an off road activity that affects traffic flow. Road occupancy may involve the closure of traffic lane/s.
NOTE: Activities conducted off road that have an impact on traffic require that the stakeholder be officially notified of the upcoming activity.
A Road Occupancy Licence (ROL) allows a proponent to use a specified road space at approved times, but does not imply permission or approval for the actual works being undertaken. For all occupancies on classified (state) roads applications are made to the Planned Incident Unit of The RTA’s Transport Management Centre. For occupancies that impact solely on unclassified (council) roads applications are to be made to the relevant local council authority.
NOTE: For works that necessitate the need to damage a stakeholder’s assets in order to carry-out their proposed activities, e.g. trenching to carryout utility main repairs, the proponent MUST obtain approval from the relevant stakeholder. (Road Opening Permit - ROP)
Most council’s include the Road Occupancy Licence in the Road Opening Permit, where as the RTA issue an ROP through the Asset Management Branch before issuing and ROL.
