A works zone is a parking restriction which provides for a dedicated area on the road carriageway in which only construction vehicles can park.
Works zone permit
Under Rule 181 of Road Rules — Victoria.
A driver must not stop in a works zone unless the driver is driving a vehicle that is engaged in construction work in or near the zone.
We will consider installing a works zone for construction works under the following conditions:
-
Works zones will only be installed along the property boundaries of the site for a maximum of four parking bays (26 metres in total — 4 x 6.5m long bays) with the fees relating to the duration of time indicated below. Additional bays can be requested at a monthly cost per bay. Please refer to the fee table below.
-
The works zone will apply between 7am and 8pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 6pm Saturday. A Planning Permit may specify different hours. This excludes any clearway or no stopping restrictions, or any location deemed unsuitable by Council.
-
Works zones may not be permitted in areas occupied by bus or tram stops (or similar) without the written consent of the operator.
-
Works zone is only for the parking of vehicles engaged in construction works in or near the zone. A separate Council Land or Road Occupation Permit will be required for any other requirements.
