Do I need a CAR before construction?
A CAR may be needed when construction works affect public road corridor space or related assets.
CiviEase resource
Direct answer
You may need a CAR before construction if works affect the road corridor, footpath, berm, kerb, vehicle crossing, carriageway, public road space or underground/service connections. CAR requirements depend on the road controlling authority, work type, location, timing, site constraints and work methodology.
