Getting help with your application
A traffic engineer can help you put together the documentation for your application.
Using an agent to prepare your application

A marked-up aerial photo of the street
You'll need to include an aerial photo of the street near your site, showing:
- 50 metres in both directions
- available and unavailable parks and vehicle crossings.
You can download an aerial photo from the Council’s property map online or by taking a screenshot in Google Maps.

An on-street parking survey
To show the availability of on-street parking near your property, you'll need to carry out a survey at the following times:
- 10am on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday
- 8pm on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday
This should extend 50 metres in both direction from your site. We recommend you carry out a survey outside of school and public holidays.
The survey should include:
- photographs that clearly show the cars and parking spaces
- a table showing the total number of parking spaces and the number of cars occupying these spaces
- any on-street parking restrictions (for example, P30).
You may be able to do the parking photo survey yourself, but it’s best to use a traffic engineer as they can make an assessment of the effect of your proposal on the street.
If we have concerns, we may ask you to provide photos of the traffic at other times as well.
Note: This table is an example – please contact us to check the requirements for your particular project.
