Online special permits

About online special permits

The return of delegation for the issuing of Class 1 oversize over mass permits in NSW transitioned on 1 June 2020.

The return of delegation is a critical step in progressing the efficient management of access in NSW by providing a centrally managed process through the online NHVR Portal (www.service.nhvr.gov.au).

Therefore from 1 June 2020, operators will be required to submit their applications for access to both state and local council roads via the NHVR Portal. The NHVR will be responsible for processing the applications, obtaining the relevant consents from all affected road managers and issuing the permit.

As always, operators must ensure access is approved under Notice or permit before travelling.
