Permit to Exceed Sign Posted Load Limit
Existing 'No Trucks' load limit restrictions are in place as the axle loads of trucks constitutes a significant factor in pavement stress, contributing to accelerated wear of the surface, fatigue cracking and pavement deformation.
In exceptional circumstances – Council may issue a permit to a specific vehicle with a genuine need for such a permit. On receipt of an application, due consideration will be given to the request. Allow for ten (10) business days for processing. The online application is below or download the application here
Permits will not be issued to facilitate access via the shortest route when reasonable alternatives exist and permits cannot be granted for signposted bridge load limits.
Approved permit applications are valid for one year from the date of issue and a $227.50 fee will be charged for the assessment, preparation and issuing of the permit.
In accordance with Road Rules 2014 Rule No.104 (4) a ‘No Trucks’ sign “does not apply to a driver if the destination of the driver lies beyond a no trucks sign and--
(a) there is no other route by which the driver's vehicle could reach that destination, or
(b) any other route by which the driver's vehicle could reach that destination would require the vehicle to pass another no trucks sign.”
