Any works on, over, or under a public road in NSW — including new driveways, vehicle access crossings, stormwater connections, and footpath works — require approval under Section 138 of the Roads Act 1993. Raheja Projects prepares and lodges council-ready Section 138 applications, working directly with Central Coast Council and other NSW road authorities to keep your project moving without unnecessary delays.
Section 138 Approval
Comprehensive Section 138 Roads Act Approval Services
We manage the full Section 138 approval process on your behalf, from initial design through to lodgement and council sign-off. Whether your Development Application includes a condition requiring road authority approval or you are carrying out works within the road reserve independently of a DA, our team ensures your application is technically sound and meets council requirements.
Vehicle Access Crossings and Driveway Design
New or modified driveways and vehicle access crossings onto a public road fall squarely within Section 138. We design compliant crossings and prepare the supporting engineering drawings that councils and certifiers need, so your driveway approval does not hold up your Construction Certificate.
Road Reserve and Footpath Works
Works within the road reserve — including footpath modifications, kerb and gutter alterations, and utility connections — require careful design and council coordination. We prepare the civil documentation and manage submissions to ensure works are approved and constructed to council standard.
Coordination with Stormwater and Civil Approvals
Section 138 approvals often go hand in hand with Section 68 stormwater drainage approval under the Local Government Act. We coordinate both processes together, aligning driveway, kerb, and drainage design so your civil works package is consistent and approvable as a whole.
Council RFI and Revision Support
If council has issued a Request for Information or asked for design revisions before your Section 138 application can proceed, we respond quickly with the technical documentation needed to clear the condition and keep your approval on track.
Proven Approval Track Record
Our team has secured Section 138 Roads Act approvals for duplex, dual occupancy, subdivision, and residential development projects across the Central Coast. With a track record of council-approved civil design packages, we know what Central Coast Council and other NSW authorities expect, and we deliver it the first time.
