Schedule 1 Table of Amended Routes
Column 1 Authorising Provision | Column 2 Network | Column 3 Locality | Column 4 Changes to Route | Column 5 Road manager Reasons for Change |
s174 and s175 HVNL | Queensland - HML route (Higher Mass Limits network) | Rockhampton City Council | Restrict access to Derby St Rockhampton for HML Vehicles. | This combination type is no longer suitable to traverse Derby St following roundabouts upgrades at the intersections with Alma St and Bolsolver St, as the vehicle will likely cause damage to the infrastructure. |
s174 and s175 HVNL | South Australia – Multiple Routes; PBS Routes Level 1A, 19m HML Network | Department of Infrastructure and Transport | Remove access to Reservoir Rd Myponga | Road manager consent is not granted for this section of road in accordance with s156(3)(i) of the HVNL – Will or is likely to cause damage to road infrastructure and it is not possible to apply relevant road or travel conditions that will mitigate the above risk. |
s174 and s175 HVNL | South Australia – Multiple Routes; PBS 2A & 26m B Double GML/HML networks | City of West Torrens | Remove access to start of Manchester St, Mile End | The NNM under PBS 2A & 26m B Double GML/HML networks, Manchester St had been highlighted all the way up to South Rd. This depicts that BDs can make all turns from South Rd onto Manchester St. This shouldn’t have happened because the turn paths are extremely deficient. I think this could be an anomaly when the data was migrated from RAVNet to NNM because in RAVNet, Manchester St was not connected to South Rd (please see attached). |
s174 and s175 HVNL | Queensland – 23m B Double Network | Council Of The City Of The Gold Coast | Remove Harper Street, between Ashmore Road and Herbertson Drive | The City of Gold Coast Council is in the process of closing the median at the intersection of Harper Street and Ashmore Road as part of a road safety initiative, due to the site’s crash history and restricted sight distances. The subject intersection and section of Harper Street do not currently support safe travel for 23m B-double vehicles. Accordingly, the City proposes to remove Harper Street, between Ashmore Road and Herbertson Drive from the 23m B-double network.

s174 and s175 HVNL | New South Wales – All Networks | Forbes Shire Council | Addition of 42.5t Mass Restriction to Gordon Duff Bridge, Yarra Addition of 50t Mass Restriction to Gunning Gap Bridge, New Grenfell Rd, Forbes | Council is satisfied that the load limits imposed on Gordon Duff Bridge and Gunning Gap Bridge are necessary to prevent 1. damage to infrastructure, 2. adverse effects on the community, and 3. significant risk to public safety.
The load limit is a resolution of Council, and the condition reflects what is already signposted. Please process this request to avoid assess confusion. Note NHVR has recently processed gazettes of Bedgerabong Rd and Grawlin Passage which have been provided as detours.
