Domestic Driveway Crossover 20/21

Do not complete this form if: The driveway opens to a State Controlled Main Road – this cannot be assessed by Council. Please contact

Department of Transport & Main Roads Ph: 13 74 68.

The driveway is associated with Department of Housing or a Commercial driveway – this may require a different application. Please contact Council to raise a request to the Engineering Team for advice.

The road does not have kerb and channel – please contact Council to organise a property access assessment, where the Roads Team will assess the driveway location and appropriate crossover. Note: Council will require a plan/mud map and photos of the proposed location to provide an accurate assessment.

Further Information

Items to consider when assessing possible driveway locations and materials

1. Prohibited Locations

Driveways must be at least 6m from the tangent point –

where the curve of the corner straightens into the Street and

1m from Stormwater Gully pits – See Reference Drawing R-

RCC-1.

2. Council Infrastructure

Concrete Footpaths

Driveway levels must tie in with any existing concrete

footpaths with doweled expansion joints.

Existing footpath sections across the width of the driveway

must the removed and tooled contraction joints are to be

made in the driveway slab to denote the footpath.

Footpath Trees

Ensure street trees are clearly marked on the driveway plans

prior to submission – minimum clearance is 2m.

Council may request that you replace or transplant where

possible, any small trees, at your cost, if necessary.

Mature trees will not be removed however pruning may be

performed, at your cost, if required. A Council arborist will

advise.

Where driveways are installed within 5m of a street tree it is

advised that a 100mm (0.1m) wide x 400mm (0.4m) deep

barrier be installed as part of the driveway, along the edge

closest to the tree.

Road Signs and Traffic Control Devices

Road signs may be relocated a small distance at your cost.

Concrete traffic islands etc, are generally unlikely to be

moved. Contact Council’s Roads, Drainage and Marine Unit

(Ph 3829 8999) for further advice.

Sewerage Manholes, Water Hydrants & Valves

Sewerage manholes, hydrants & Valves must be accessible

at all times. Contact Redland Water (Ph 3829 8999) for

advice on relocating their infrastructure.

Driveways cannot be constructed over fire hydrants.

Survey Marks

Some survey marks are located on the footpath. They are a

brass disk, set in concrete, usually 1 metre from the property

boundary or immediately behind the kerb and are generally

denoted by red and white paint on the kerb.

Do not disturb a survey mark.

Contact Council’s Spatial Management team on (Ph 3829

8999) for advice.

Water Supply Services (Meters & underground pipes)

Driveways must not interfere with water meters or cover

water supply pipes from the main in the footpath to the meter.

The driveway must not cover a water supply conduit from the

main on the opposite side of street. The location of the

conduit is indicated by a “W” mark in the kerb.

If relocation of the water meter is required as a result of the

construction of a driveway, this will be done at the owner’s

expense.

3. Other Service Providers

Various services provided by other authorities may be

installed in the footpath. Check for any conflict with the

relevant organisation.

i. Underground electricity, gas, telecommunications

(Dial Before you Dig Ph 1100)

(http:/www.dialbeforeyoudig.com.au).

ii. Above ground power Energex (Phone 131253). Allow

at least 1m clearance from power poles.

4. Other aspects to check

Alignment and setbacks

Crossing to be constructed:

square to the street alignment,

wholly contained within the site frontage, and

with a minimum setback from property boundary of

500mm so that the taper may finish on the boundary

but driveway would be offset.

Driveway Slope

Driveways which exceed the slope indicated in the

Reference Drawing R-RCC-1 are considered to not comply

with point 2 of the Pre-Lodgement Criteria.

Existing Kerb and Channel

On Sub-Arterial and Trunk Collector roads the kerb and

channel is to be removed and replaced with Council’s

standard invert. On other roads driveways must be pinned as

per Reference Drawing R-RCC-1.

Extent of Concrete

Where no kerb and channel exists, the concrete must not be

extended past the table drain.

Maintenance

The crossover, once completed, is considered to be the

owner’s property and it will be their responsibility to ensure it

is maintained, at all times, in a safe condition.

Other than in Plain Concrete

The thickness of the decorative surfacing is to be added to

the thickness of crossing shown on Council’s Reference

Drawing R-RCC-1.

The decorative surface is not to extend closer to the road

pavement than the back of the kerb.

The surface finish shall be non-slip and have a minimum

coefficient of friction of 0.47 as specified in Australian

Standard ASMS 3661 – Slip Resistance of Pedestrian

Surfaces. E.g. plain, lightly broomed concrete.

The surface projections shall not exceed 5mm in height

relative to the adjacent surfaces.

Pollution

All work (including disposal of waste) is to comply with the

Environmental Protection Act 1994.

All reasonable measures must be taken to prevent the

release of pollutants onto/into roadways, stormwater

systems and waterways. Refer Council’s Brochure, “Erosion

and Sediment control on residential building sites”

Visibility

Check the visibility of oncoming traffic at the location where

you want to put the driveway. Items to consider would be

curves and crests in the road or other obstructions, which

may block your view.
