Watch the Route Planner video.
With a permit application open, select Step 2 Route from the steps along the top of the screen.
Decide if your route needs a Single Route or Area application.
Single Route
Select Single Route if your route is:
- A single course between two points; and
- The course may or may not include several drop off/way points.
See How to complete Step 3 - Single Route
Area Route
Select Area if your route is:
- A system of roads incorporated within one Road Manager boundary; or
- A number of roads (continuous or off an approved network) within a single Road Manager boundary but may end in another Road Manager boundary; or
- A number of roads not off an approved network but continuous within a single Road Manager boundary.
See How to complete Step 3 - Area
Examples of Single Route and Area
Example 1 - Single Route
Point to point route. A single route is one application with one fee, even if the route is across multiple road managers boundaries. Note - If you are travelling to or from a network associated with a Notice you will need to apply for a system of roads for each road manager.
Example 2 – Area
A number of roads off an approved network and within a single Road Manager boundary.
Example 3 – Area
A number of roads not off an approved network but continuous within a single Road Manager boundary.
Example 4 – Area
A number of roads (continuous or off an approved network) that start within a single Road Manager boundary but may end in another Road Manager boundary. Here, the black route will be included under a single area permit (Note: the system will limit the number of road segments to 40).
Example 5 – Area
A number of roads off an approved network and not within a single Road Manager boundary. The additional set of roads in this permit application will result in two permit applications being created (5a and 5b), with fees applying for each.
