When responding to customer consent requests 

The Route Management tab shows the route submitted by the customer and forwarded to the Road Manager for a decision by the Regulator. Route Management has superseded Journey Planner.

Using the Route Management tab you can:

  • Review the proposed route and move to the DECISIONS tab or
  • Propose an alternate route using the Route Management tools outlined below.


  1. With Case Tracker open, select the required Permit Case No from the table, then select Route Management from the tabs. 

    PLAN Tab

  2. View the proposed route plan.

  3. View other routes that have been proposed for this case using the Route History drop down toggle.
  4. Use the link RAVRAT ASSESSMENT TOOL to access additional route information (using your existing RAVRAT login credentials).

  5. Propose an alternate route if required.

    1. Select the 'Add waypoints' icon on the map.

    2. To move route or waypoints, rollover any point on the route and click to Drag and Drop. 

    3. Use the Drop-pin (blue when on/ black when off)  to add new waypoints to your route or rollover any point on the route to Drag & Drop a waypoint.

    4. Delete any routes or waypoints using trash or edit the waypoint to change the waypoint label.

    5. Drawing and measuring tools are also available, see Article.

  6. Click SAVE ALT button to add your proposed alternate route to the route history.

    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).
