Get a dropped kerb for your home

A dropped kerb (also called a domestic vehicle crossing or a dropped crossing) allows you to drive a vehicle over a pavement that is between the road and your driveway. If you drive over a pavement that doesn't have a dropped kerb, you’re breaking the law.

You can apply to have a dropped kerb built outside your property.

There are several steps to getting a dropped kerb. You will need to pay for:

  • the assessment
  • a road opening permit
  • the construction works

  1. Check if your drive is suitable

    Make sure your home has a suitable drive before you apply.

  2. Apply for a dropped kerb assessment

    Choose a contractor, apply and pay for the road opening permit, and accept the quotation for the works.
