This includes:
No permit is required for bin placement on private driveways or private land.
Understanding who manages your proposed placement location is important to know.

If VicRoads manages your proposed location, then you must first apply for a memorandum of authority.
This is not required if we manage the location.
If you need to close or restrict public access, all residences and businesses within 150m of your proposed location must be notified.
The letter should be short and clear, and include details on:

A draft letter is required in your application.
