Requirements
  • Permit required to construct, alter, replace, relocate or remove a crossing — valid 12 months once issued.
  • All formwork must pass a pre-pour inspection by a council field officer (booked at least 2 business days ahead, mornings only, concreter on site), and council is notified within 7 days of completion.
  • Built to Kingston's standard drawings S201–S204; arterial (Transport Zone 2) roads may need Department of Transport approval.
  • One crossing per property, 3 m to 4.6 m wide at the boundary, set square to the kerb — shared crossings between properties aren't permitted.
  • Clearances: 1 m from pits and poles, 3–5 m from street trees, 6 m from intersections; traffic management plan required.
Council fees$257.50 per permit (as published, checked July 2026).
Worth knowingFail the pre-pour inspection and it's a re-booking (and possibly another fee) — turning up with formwork right the first time is the whole game in Kingston.
