Footpaths and driveways

Brisbane City Council has regulations for the way you conduct work on footways. Find out about permit requirements, application forms and fees for constructing driveways, using footways or closing a road.

Find what you need

Find the permits you need to conduct activities on Council's footways and roads. This includes depositing materials, road closures and adding planter boxes. 

If you are going to build, repair or modify a driveway, you need a permit to cross the footway.
