Size and Load Limits

Load Limits on Bridges 

For the safety of road users, and to preserve the structure of bridges and culverts in the Warrumbungle Shire Council, structures are inspected regularly. 
Load capacity assessments are carried out to provide a more detailed assessment of structural components or identify the need for load limits to be imposed.

Tonnage restrictions currently apply for bridges:

Figure No: 01 – Detour via All Weather Road (Dunedoo)

Figure No: 02 – Detour via Mollyan Road (Binnaway)

Oversize and Over Mass Requirements

You need a permit if your vehicle exceeds the dimension or mass limits allowed on the road network. The type of permit required depends on your vehicle class and the jurisdiction in which you're travelling. 

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator issue permits for oversize and over mass vehicles.

Drivers must consult the notices before they travel and be aware of the requirements and conditions applying to their journey.
