Do you need to do work within a road reserve (including the roadway and/or the roadside) of a Council-maintained road?

These works may include:
- constructing, extending or relocating a vehicle crossover
- stormwater drainage connections
- landscaping the nature strip
- occupying Council land with machinery.
