Vehicle Crossing Policy 2024

Our Vehicle Crossing Policy helps us manage applications to modify existing vehicle crossings and create new vehicle crossings in the City of Whittlesea.  

A vehicle crossing, or crossover, allows vehicles to legally access properties over the nature strip and footpath without damaging the kerb, channel or footpath.  

This policy outlines our goals and processes for new and modified vehicle crossings, and it also ensures green and functional nature strips while protecting street trees and planting opportunities.

We regulate these crossings under the Local Government Act 1989 and the Community Local Law 2024-2034.
