What are the applications for road closure and works on highway right-of-way used for?
Sometimes a proposal for subdivision will include the discontinuance (road closure) of a dedicated, or gazetted road. This requires an Application for Permission to Discontinue, Close and Acquire the Land in a Public Road. Road closure can be a complex process and must be done prior to, or concurrent with, the final approval of a subdivision plan. Sometimes the construction of works on an existing Highway Right-of-Way are required to facilitate a proposed subdivision. An application for Permission to Construct Works Within Highway Right-of-Way is required to construct these works.
