G591:2006 Telecommunications in Road Reserves - Operational Guidelines for Installations

G591:2006 Incorporating Variation No.1 2024 (.pdf, 365 KB)

Provides guidance for Road Authorities and Carriers to manage their respective facilities in road reserves safely, effectively and efficiently. It provides guidance on co-ordination, considerations for positioning telecommunications facilities in road reserves, attachment of telecommunications facilities to road authority structures, planning and sharing information.

In 2024 a variation to the Guideline was made to address the positioning of a Carrier’s facilities in road reserves with respect to road traffic and vibration during future road rehabilitation works and to update a recommendation to place a Carrier’s facility away from the pavement and as close to the Registered Property boundary, rather than a boundary fence, as practicable. Minor editorial amendments were also made throughout the Guideline.
