Watch the Route Planner video.
1.With a permit application open, select Step 3 Route from the steps along the top of the screen (Application Wizard).
PLAN tab > Select the Route Type – Area Route
2. To use a previous route (Journey Planner or Route Planner):
Add the Application ID if available or for Journey Planner, select the Version.
3. To plot a new area application within a single Road Manager boundary:
OR
4. To plot a new area application across multiple Road Manager boundaries:
- Type in the Area Road Manager (if known) or add waypoints/ use the drop pin on the map and the Area Road Manager (based on the first waypoint location) will populate.
- With the approved network displayed, map your route and create Road Waypoint Sets, for road sections not within the approved network.
- Do this by typing in the start and end address points or use the Drop-pin (blue when on/ black when off) to add new road sections to your area. The route will display on the interactive map as Set of Roads.
- The route will display on the interactive map and a Route Id will be automatically assigned (this can be reused on other permit applications).
- Rollover any point on the route to Drag & Drop a waypoint.
- Delete any waypoint using trash or edit the waypoint to change the waypoint label. Alternatively, delete the entire Road Waypoint Set.
- Drawing and measuring tools are also available (bottom left of the map display)
If you add waypoint sets outside of a single Road Manager boundary, a separate area application is required for each Road Manager. - A notification will appear asking you to complete the route planning and then return to Step 3 and click GENERATE. This will make sure all of the permit information (from Steps 1-5) is copied into each individual Road Manager application, such as Attachments and Contact information.
- Once you select GENERATE, a pop up will appear confirming the next steps.
- Clicking GENERATE again, will then automatically seperate the routes according to Road Managers and create draft permit applicaitons for each. Open Applicaiton Tracker to see the new applicaitons and submit.
- Open Applicaiton Tracker to see the new applicaitons. These will have the original application ID as a reference. Open all of the associated applications and submit each.
- The original applicaiton you started, containing all routes will now act as a template (not able to be submitted). You can choose to archive it or leave it as a draft for use in the future.
5. Then complete all TABS:
Area applications are made up of a number of short road sections that connect from/ to an approved network. These are Road Waypoint Sets, with one set having a start and end point.
Turn on the Network Layers to view the approved network for the vehicle.
Select the Network Layers using the Layer legend for a grouped view of available layers or the Layer list
.You can use the slide tool to toggle the colours on the route layer or map layer
. Road layers are automatically set depending on the vehicle configuration you select. To turn on all layers, tick 'Show all layers'.
Map layers can be selected from either the LAYERS tab or the Stack icon for the Layers list
. As these are linked, selections made in one list will also show in the other. The LAYERS tab view allows you to still see the full map when switching layers on/off. 
Use the expand/ collapse icon to see the list of roads under each road owner
. Click on any road to add notes specific to that road, such as local road name.
Finally, select the CONFIRM tab where the Road summary will display. Add any notes related to the application, at the bottom of the screen. Then, confirm the route using the check box 
and clicking Save.
NOTE: For area applications with more than one Road Manager, the original application (containing multiple Road Managers) can not be confirmed/ submitted.
