A crossover is the section at the end of your driveway where your property line connects to the edge of the road. Since this section sits within the road reserve, special conditions apply to the construction and maintenance of crossovers.

In line with the law related to crossovers, you need to apply for approval from the City of Belmont to construct a crossover, before any actual construction takes place.

Depending on your development, you (or someone acting on your behalf such as your builder) will need to submit either:
 

• Infrastructure Services Clearance Application
• Application to Modify or Upgrade Existing Crossover 

Below you will find more information about how to submit your application.

New developments

Before you start a new development, you will need to apply for Infrastructure Services Clearance to comply with the City’s Consolidated Local Law 2020, policies and the Local Government Act 1995. Please note:
 

• If you do not apply for this clearance and do not comply with these laws and regulations, the City reserves the right to request modifications for which you as the property owner will bear the full cost;
• The City may impose penalties under the Consolidated Local Law 2020 and Local Government Act 1995 and take action to correct the non-compliances and recover all associated costs.

You or your builder can apply for Infrastructure Services Clearance at the same time as the Building Permit application is submitted. This way, the City could let you know about any conflicting issues at the development stages. The Infrastructure Services Clearance will also check the engineering conditions as part of your Development Approval. This assessment includes the consideration of crossover(s), stormwater drainage, verge assets, street trees, finished floor levels, vehicle parking and manoeuvrability, easements and landscape plans. 

Application fees

Please note, the following application fees will apply:

Single / Residential Development: $110
Grouped / Multi Residential Development: $220
Commercial/Industrial Development: $330
