Conditions the council sets
- A Road Permit is required to carry out certain activities within road reserves; a road reserve is the area from property boundary to property boundary including the verges, footpaths, shoulders, traffic lanes, and median
- Activities needing approval include temporarily placing hoarding, gantry, scaffolding, site shed, equipment or material where these are not Minor Activities
- Minor activities confined solely to the footpath or verge on Local or Access Streets that do not divert pedestrians onto the shoulder or traffic lanes, and maintain sufficient space, adequate surfaces and protection for pedestrians to pass safely, do not require a Road Permit - the example given is short term storage of construction or landscaping materials for less than 12 hours with groundsheet protection for grassed areas and formed footpaths not impeded
- Some road reserves in the Ipswich area are State Controlled Roads where separate permission must be obtained from the Department of Transport and Main Roads
