Its vehicle crossing fact sheet (issue February 2022) says a CAR is required for each vehicle crossing project and that the contractor obtains it. No wider list of activities or exemptions was found on the pages checked.

Yes, for events closing all or part of a road. Talk to the council's transportation officer first, then submit the application form (online, or Word or PDF) at least two months before the date, because only the elected Council or a council committee can approve a closure. With it you provide a TMP (the page says prepared by a certified TTM Planner), a health and safety plan, a completed resident visiting form, a public liability insurance certificate and a road damage bond. The proposal is advertised by public notice and people have 10 working days from public notification to lodge a submission. The page says it takes four to eight weeks on average to reach the next road closure sub-committee meeting. An advertising fee is billed separately to the applicant.

For a temporary road closure the council asks for its application form plus a resident visiting form, a health and safety plan, a public liability insurance certificate and a road damage bond (the last three are not separate forms on the page checked).

For temporary road closures, the council advertises the proposal by public notice in the local newspapers, and the application must include a resident visiting form showing that adjoining residents and businesses have been visited. If a closure is granted, the council's follow-up information can cover other requirements, including notification to affected property owners, businesses and residents.
