Crossovers
Crossover Information
A crossover is the driveway access from the kerb or edge of the road to the front boundary of the property.
A constructed crossover prevents erosion and hazards for motorists, such as gravel washing onto the road and blocking the drainage system. Although a crossover is located within the road reserve, it is the responsibility of the property owner to construct and maintain it.
Under legislation all landowners within the Shire of Irwin must make an application to Council to construct a vehicle crossover.
Written approval from the Shire of Irwin must be obtained prior to construction of all crossovers including new, replacement or additional crossover.
Council Contribution for Crossovers
If it is the first vehicle crossing constructed to the premises, the Shire of Irwin may contribute 50% towards the construction cost of a residential crossover after construction is complete.
The contribution is calculated on a standard 3.0 metre wide crossover. Currently, only crossovers constructed to residential properties are eligible for a Council contribution.
To claim a Council contribution all receipts for the labour and materials must be itemised and submitted to the Shire within six (6) months from the date that the crossover was constructed.
