Albury: check the crossing permit
AlburyCity's application guidance identifies a crossing permit under section 138 of the NSW Roads Act as an approval that can be lodged separately from other development documents. The council form finder includes a water connection and driveway crossing application. Confirm whether the proposed work alters the crossing, kerb, footpath or road reserve.
Wodonga: road-reserve and vehicle-crossing controls
Wodonga Council states that building work may also require a road-reserve works permit, and its application system includes driveway/crossover work. Published guidance says new or altered crossings require an application, fee and bond, and the public crossing may need a plain broom finish rather than decorative concrete unless another approval applies.
Stormwater matters on both sides
Both councils state that hardstand areas must control runoff rather than concentrate it onto neighbouring property. Wodonga also says a driveway onto public land must not disrupt road drainage. AlburyCity identifies approved discharge arrangements and the need to keep easements and natural flow paths functional.
Use this guide as a question list, not an approval
Requirements, fees and property constraints change. Check the current council information and obtain property-specific advice before work starts. A concreting quote should clearly separate private slab work, public crossover work, drainage and application responsibilities.
