The rules

What Bayside requires

PermitVehicle Crossing Permit
Suburbs we coverBrighton · Brighton East · Hampton · Hampton East · Sandringham · Black Rock · Beaumaris · Highett · Cheltenham
Requirements
  • Permit required for any driveway section crossing the footpath and nature strip — applied for online; valid 12 months once approved.
  • The contractor's current public liability insurance certificate is uploaded with the application.
  • A dimensioned plan is required showing crossover width at footpath level, offset from the side boundary, and the position of pits, trees and power poles. Standard single crossing is 3 m wide, max 4.8 m for a double garage.
  • Any public asset within 1 m (South East Water, NBN, United Energy, PTV) needs the asset owner's written approval — we chase these approvals as part of the job.
  • Inspections are booked online against the issued permit.
Council feesApplication $365; extra inspections $208 each, as published July 2026.
Worth knowingBayside refers street-tree conflicts, crossings near intersections and anything wider than 3 m for specialist approval, and second crossings are rarely granted — getting the plan right the first time is the difference between weeks and months here.
