Public Road Activity

As the Roads Authority for local roads, Council needs to manage all activities on public roads in addition to the primary transport functions. If you are planning any of the following activities that impact roads and/or verges you must complete the relevant Public Road Activity application to Council. Please allow appropriate time for review and notifications.

Complete one Council form for your activity:

  • Driveway Applications
  • Event Application Form
  • Filming in Camden
  • Outdoor Dining Approval
  • Road Opening Permit Application (utility service and stormwater connection works)
  • Road Occupancy Permit Application (non-construction activities only e.g. mobile crane / skips / hoardings /Works Zone signage)
  • Road Works Applicaiton (road/footpath construction associated with development)

Many of these activities will also require an associated Development Application.

Most public road activities will require a Traffic Guidance Scheme, drawn up by a suitably qualified person.

Fees required for various activities are specified in Council's Fees and Charges.

To view a list of Council roads, see the Camden Road Register

Activities on State Roads, Argyle Street, Camden Valley Way, Burragorang Road or impacting traffic signals require a Road Occupancy Licence from the Transport Management Centre.
