This form is required if you plan to:

  • alter the construction or arrangement of the road to facilitate access to/from your property.
  • erect or install a structure (including pipes, wires, cables, fixtures, fittings or other objects) in, on, across, under or over the road (excludes underground electrical work).
  • change or interfere with the construction, arrangement or materials of the road.
  • plant, interfere with or remove a tree or vegetation from the road.

Please note: The Act provides that a road extends from property boundary to property boundary and includes the carriageway, footpaths and verges.

Please allow a minimum of 4 weeks for your request to be considered.

We try to support all requests, however in some instances the proposed use of council land may not be deemed appropriate and therefore may not be approved. 

A separate authorisation may be issued by the City of Onkaparinga if deemed appropriate.
