Loading Zones

Council is happy to talk to you about applying for a loading zone. To apply for a loading zone please submit a written application and send it to:

Co-ordinator, Transport Capital Works
PO Box168
Richmond VIC 3121

Your application must outline:

• type of business
• times of operation
• reasons for request
• type of delivery
• type of vehicle
• suggested time limit for loading zone operation.

Before you submit your applications you need to obtain consent for the loading bay from your neighbours or affected property owners.

Council Officers will inspect the site and carry out a traffic and site survey to establish if an off street-loading bay could be installed.

Processing a loading zone application and request takes approximately 8 weeks. This time can vary depending on the Parking Review Panel meeting cycle.

Costs
Depending on the circumstances and if you application is approved, you may be charged for the cost of works associated with installation of the loading zone.

Signs will be erected and road marking carried out within 4-6 weeks of approval.
Signage and line marking may cost you approximately $200.

There are some circumstances where you can not apply for a loading zone. These include:

• If there is an existing loading bay within the property.
• If the planning permit for your business requires a loading/unloading zone within the property.
