Occupation of a road or footpath permit


This permit helps protect the public from activities that are occurring on, around and above a worksite on a public road or footpath.

If you plan to work on or fence-off part of a road or footpath, this permit will be required. Please allow 10 business days for your application to be processed.
 
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and Memorandum of Authorisation (MOA) application must be submitted to and approved by the Mornington Peninsula Shire's Traffic & Transport Team prior to conducting any works on Shire roads, streets, lanes or footpaths. If your works are on a VicRoads Arterial Road, you must also comply with VicRoads/Department of Transport and Planning traffic management requirements. For further information on when a Traffic Management Plan is required, VicRoads requirements, or how to submit your TMP and MOA applications please visit Traffic Management Plans.
