COUNCIL COSSOVERS & WORKS

Our Process for Council Crossovers & Works

Council-Compliant. Professionally Managed. Built to Last.

At MercsCon, we make council crossovers and public works simple and stress-free. With years of experience navigating Melbourne's local regulations and permit systems, we handle the paperwork, approvals, and construction with precision, so you can focus on your project, not red tape.

From new crossovers and footpaths to reinstatements and kerb works, we’ve streamlined our process to ensure fast, compliant, and high-quality outcomes for homeowners, builders, and developers alike.

1. Initial Consultation & Site Assessment

We begin with a thorough consultation to understand the type of crossover or public work required. Whether you’re installing a new driveway crossover, widening an existing one, or completing reinstatement works, we assess the site and advise on next steps.

Includes:
• Review of council-specific crossover guidelines
• On-site inspection and measurements
• Assessment of kerbs, footpaths, and nature strip
• Advice on drainage, levels, and required construction specs

2. Permits, Administration & Council Coordination

Navigating local council approvals can be tricky, but not with us. We handle the full application process, including engineering drawings (if required), traffic management plans, and all communication with your council.

Includes:
• Submission of vehicle crossing applications
• Road Opening Permits (ROP)
• Dial Before You Dig reports
• Traffic Management Plans (TMPs)
• Asset protection bonds
• Booking pre-works inspections with council

3. Traffic Management & Safety Setup

All council crossover and footpath works must be completed with safety in mind. We organise the traffic management team, signage, and barricades to ensure compliance with VicRoads and WorkSafe standards.

Includes:
• On-site traffic control and signage
• Pedestrian diversions (if required)
• Safety fencing and barricading
• Compliance with all site safety requirements

4. Excavation & Preparation

Once permits and safety measures are in place, we begin the physical works. Our team carefully excavates the existing surface, prepares the base, and sets out the required dimensions per council specifications.

Includes:
• Removal of existing concrete or asphalt
• Base compaction and grading
• Preparation of kerbs, footpaths, or crossover areas
• Adjustments to levels and slope for drainage compliance

5. Formwork, Steel & Pour

With site prep complete, we install custom formwork, lay steel reinforcement (if required), and pour high-strength council-grade concrete. This stage is executed with strict adherence to council requirements.

Includes:
• Formwork set to exact measurements
• Steel mesh or bar placement
• Concrete pour with proper vibration and finish
• Surface broom or stipple finish depending on location

6. Curing, Clean-Up & Inspection

The concrete is cured for strength and longevity, followed by site clean-up. We coordinate with the local council for the final inspection and approval of the works before handover.

Includes:
• Curing compound application
• Debris removal and nature strip reinstatement
• Book-in and attend final council inspection
• Rectifications (if required by council feedback)
