If you want to undertake telecommunication works in the State road reservation you may have to notify Building Tasmania prior to doing so. Notification requirements are set out in the Telecommunications Act 1997 and other related codes and regulations.
Notifications can be sent to:
There are time restrictions on planned works and activities on State roads, to help make sure traffic can flow smoothly when traffic volumes are highest.
More information can be found on the Time restrictions on State Roads for works, temporary traffic management and events webpage.
Traffic control at work sites may be required to maintain a safe workplace for workers and to safely guide road users through work sites.
More information can be found on the Tasmanian Guide - Traffic Control for Works on Roads webpage.
Notification is only for carrying out works within the State road reservation. If the State road reservation boundary is not clearly defined, for example by fencing, you may need to notify other landowners or authorities.
The Department may object to the activity in accordance with the process set out by the Telecommunications Code of Practice 2021.
