Heavy Vehicle Access on Bridges

Many Council-maintained bridges feature signs displaying their appropriate carrying capacities. Some specify the weight limit in tonnes, and others are per axle group.

It is the responsibility of all drivers to know the axle loads of their vehicle.

Heavy Vehicle Access on Roads

Operators of higher mass limit (HML) or over-dimensional (OD) semi-trailers or B-Doubles who require a permit to access local roads are required to apply to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator. Application forms are available from their website. 

For more information, please contact Council on (03) 5772 0333.
