No Verge or Limited Verge Space

In some cases, building sites or properties located in constrained areas with no verge and only a footpath, may have limited space for storing materials. When this occurs, the applicant may be able to apply for a road reserve permit at a fee of $125.60 per bay, per day.

The Town will not grant approval to obstruct the footpath due to limited or no verge space.

To enquire further, please email the Operations team by admin@eastfremantle.wa.gov.au.
