Answer:
If a road manager identifies a particular section of a requested route where heavy vehicle access is not possible, road managers are encouraged to investigate the option of an alternative route.
Road managers can offer an alternative route providing that the substitute route does not impact on any other road managers, that is, the route is contained within that particular road manager’s boundaries and authority to provide consent.
If there is no alternative route, then the road manager can refuse consent in accordance with section Part 4.7, Division 2, Section 156 (3) “Deciding request for consent generally” of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL).
Road managers must also take into account Part 4.7, Division 2, Section 172 “Requirements for statement explaining adverse decision of road manager” of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL).
