Q.  How do I go about getting a crossover installed?

A.  Although a crossover is located within the road reserve it is the responsibility of the property owner to construct and maintain it. The shire does not normally construct crossovers unless it is in conjunction with adjacent road works. The shire will subsidise the cost of the first crossover to a property based on the cost of a standard crossover as determined by the shire. To be entitled to a subsidy the crossover must be off a shire controlled road and the owner must submit a crossover application and construct the crossover to the shire’s requirements. There are restrictions on the location and size of crossovers and the shire has the authority to order the removal of any unauthorised crossovers.
