Thinking about a new or replacement crossover in Melton? Here's what council requires — and every bit of it is something we handle for you as part of the job.

The rules

What Melton requires

PermitWorks within Road Reserve consent
Requirements
  • New crossovers (or changes to size/location) need prior written approval via a 'Variation to Crossover' application before the Works within Road Reserve consent.
  • Like-for-like replacement of an existing crossover — same size, same spot — skips the prior-approval step.
  • The application needs the contractor's $10 million public liability insurance; council responds within 10 business days and work can't start before written consent.
  • All crossover works are inspected by council's construction supervisor, with a final reinstatement inspection after completion.
  • Works on the road reserve run under a Traffic Management Plan to AS 1742.3 — kept on site whenever crews are working.
Council feesSet per the Road Management Act — see council's fee table (linked from their page).
Worth knowingWe've delivered capital works programs for Melton City Council — traffic islands, pram crossings, footpaths, kerb & channel — so their process and inspectors are familiar territory.
