The City issues permits to owners, occupiers or developers to construct vehicle crossovers and to undertake improvements to the nature strip (verge) adjacent to their property. The crossover and improvements should enhance and integrate with the local streetscape and/or greenway corridors. Construction of vehicle crossovers and improvement works must be in accordance with the City’s Nature Strip Development Improvement Guidelines (download below).
