Works Zone Permit

Apply for a Works Zone Permit if you need dedicated parking spaces to park trade vehicles for your construction site. Permits are valid for at least 3 months.

Before you apply

Make sure you have the following for your application.

• A plan with dimensions showing the road area and the location of the proposed works zone. It should include the current parking arrangements on the street and all street assets.
• Photographs of the nearest existing parking signs to the proposed works zone area. Make sure these signs are also noted on your plan.
• A letter to notify properties affected by the works. The letter should include the name and contact details of someone on site, the site plan and construction dates.
• If you want to extend your work zone beyond the boundary fence, you will need a letter of consent from the neighbouring property.

Permit conditions

• A Works Zone Permit is issued for a minimum of 3 months.
• The works zone must be located directly in front of the construction site and can only extend to the width of the property it serves, unless you have written permission from a neighbour and our approval.
• It must be in a legal parking area.
• It can’t be within a 'No Stopping', 'No Parking' or 'Disabled Parking' area.
• It must be consistent with any Planning Permit conditions.
• This permit only covers the specified construction activity. For additional activities like crane lifts, plant equipment or concrete pours, you must apply for a Road and/or Footpath Occupancy Permit or Road Opening Permit. You can do this on our Apply for a Road and Footpath Occupancy permit page.
• The works zone is only active during building work hours specified by the Protection of Council Assets and Control of Building Sites Local Law 2021. These hours are typically:
  • Monday to Friday 7:00 am to 6:00 pm
  • Saturday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and
  • don’t apply on public holidays unless other restrictions or Planning Permit conditions apply. Normal parking restrictions apply outside these times. For more details, visit our Local Laws page.
