Civil Design, Public Domain and Driveways
What is the public domain?
The Public Domain Plan is a set of Construction Certificate level plans (based on an accurate survey plan) showing proposed works and/or changes to roads, kerbs, gutters, footpaths, street trees, nature strips and other public spaces. It will clearly show which elements are retained, protected, removed or replaced as well as all new work proposed to deliver a public domain in accordance with Council standards. This may include works to roads, drainage infrastructure, kerbs and gutters, footways, driveways and pedestrian kerb ramps
The layouts consist of plans, cross-sections, longitudinal sections and typical details.
A driveway long section is a detailed graphical representation that illustrates the longitudinal profile of a driveway. It typically includes information such as elevations, gradients, cross slopes, and dimensions along the length of the driveway and includes checking Vehicle clearance according to AS2890.1. This technical drawing is essential for visualizing and planning the driveway’s design, ensuring it meets safety requirements, functionality standards, and aesthetic preferences.
