What if my works are taking place over a long section of road?
If the works are being carried out over a long section of road and there isn’t a specific address for these works, then use the ‘Address not found?’ section and fill out the required fields. The ‘Street address’ field is free text so include any information specific to the location e.g. along Princes Highway between York Street and Jason Grove.
What if my works are on multiple roads/locations?
Currently, each MoA or WWRR application submitted through RAPP can only capture one location. If the scope of works spans over multiple roads or locations, then the DTP processing team will add the remaining locations on your behalf. In order to assist DTP staff, in the ‘Scope of works’/‘Description of works’ section in the ‘Work Details’ tab, include the names of the remaining DTP controlled roads where works will occur. The additional sections of works should also be captured in the Traffic Guidance Schemes (MoA) or Construction Plans (WWRR).
What do I do if my address does not have a street number?
When filling out the works locations, if the section of works does not have a specific address e.g. along a Freeway, then use the ‘Address not found?’ section and fill out the required fields.
How do I download copies of my previous authorised permit applications?
Copies of previous authorised or current permit applications can be downloaded from the Documents section of each application by following the below steps:
- Navigate to the dashboard page
- Locate the application (either in the ‘In Review’, ‘Approved’ or ‘Expired’ column)
- Once the application is found, click on the Actions button and select Documents
- Any current documents will be displayed in this section. Any previous approved documents (if any exist) will be found in the Archive folder in this section.
What are the turn-around times for MoA and WWRR permit applications?
MoAs
New MoA permit applications have an average turn-around time of 15 business days. Some applications may take longer depending on the complexity.
If the MoA permit application requires adjustment of signal phasing on a temporary basis during duration of works, known as TRIMS, then this will take an average of 10 additional business days to process. (25 business days in total to process a new MoA permit application with TRIMS)
If the MoA permit application requires Road Occupation Charging (ROC), then this will take an average of 5 additional business days to process (20 business days in total to process a new MoA permit application with ROC)
If the MoA permit application requires Works within Road Reserve (WWRR) approval, then this application will not be approved until the corresponding WWRR application has been approved.
We strongly recommend applying for your WWRR permit application before you apply for MoA permits to minimise any delays in your application due to WWRR approval.
Note that TRIMS, ROC and/or WWRR can be undertaken concurrently. For example, if a MoA permit application requires both TRIMS and ROC, the average turnaround time would be 25 business days. Extension of MoA permit applications have an average turn-around time of 5 business days.
For an extension of a MoA permit applications that has TRIMS, this will take an average of 5 additional business days to process (10 business days in total to process extension of MoA permit application with TRIMS).
For an extension of a MoA permit application that has ROC, this will take an average of 5 additional business days to process (10 business days in total to process extension of MoA permit application with ROC).
Extensions of MoAs will only be processed if the extension request is received before the MoA expires, we strongly recommend the extension request be submitted earlier than 5 business days before expiry of MoA (or 10 business days before expiry of MoA with TRIMS and/or ROC) where possible. All MoAs that are currently submitted in RAPP must now have their extension requests submitted in RAPP as well. Emailed requests are no longer being accepted.
Note that TRIMS, ROC and/or WWRR can be undertaken concurrently. For example, if extension of an MoA permit application requires both TRIMS and ROC, the average turnaround time would be 10 business days.
WWRRs
WWRR permit applications have an average turn-around time of 20 business days. Some applications may take longer depending on the complexity.
The status of submitted applications will be available in your dashboard.
