Entrance Approvals
A driveway or an entrance is an access right that is given to the landowner by the authority in charge of the particular road. Entrances onto Township roads must therefore be approved. Entrance applications are required for:
- New construction;
- Changing design or location;
- Change in use (ie from agricultural to residential);
- Temporary access;
An Entrance Application form must be submitted and approved based on the Township's criteria for approvals. Refer to the Engineering Services page for the appropriate forms.
Driveway Standards
The typical standard single driveway width is 4.3 metres and in rural areas if a culvert is required it shall have a minimum width of 7 metres.
The typical standard double driveway width is 7.3 metres and in rural areas if a culvert is required it shall have a minimum width of 10 metres.
If a farm/field entrance is required the property owner must set up a site meeting with the Roads Manager to discuss the size and location of the entrance.
