Road access permits portal

The RAPP is an online permit self-service portal that has been created for industry to submit various permits and notifications related to working on DTP managed roads. Construction-related companies can apply, monitor and receive authorised applications to carry out traffic management activities.

Use the road access permits portal.

To sign up for an account, fill out the road access permits portal registration form.

We introduced the RAPP for traffic management companies to lodge Memorandum of Authorisation (MoA) permit applications, for construction-related applicants to lodge Consent for Working Within the Road Reserve (WWRR) permit applications, and for the telecommunication industry to submit Land Access Activity Notice (LAAN) Notifications.

The application process for the following permits has not changed.

What's new?

Changes from 5 May 2024

Land Access & Activity Notice (LAAN) notifications will now be accepted in RAPP

• Telecommunication carriers that need to inspect land, install ‘low-impact’ facilities, and to maintain any kind of telecommunications facility must notify the DTP via LAAN as per Schedule 3 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 if the works are located on road or road related areas managed by DTP. To submit a LAAN Notification in RAPP, click on the WWRR button on the dashboard, and select the LAAN Application form type.

Memorandum of Authorisation (MoA) reference hyperlink has been modified

• To locate documents submitted in RAPP, either related to a MoA permit application, or an authorised MoA permit, users will need to select the ‘v’ under the Action Column relating to a particular permit.  This will reveal a set of dropdown options, relating to documents (submitted as part of the original submission), approval documents (containing the authorized MoA Permit) and the ability to request an extension.

New ‘type of work’ option created for Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV)

• In preparation for MRPV Roads Program MoAs to be submitted via RAPP, a new ‘type of work’’ option called ‘MRPV Road Program’ has been created.  An official transition date for MRPV MoAs is yet to be confirmed. Please continue to send MRPV MoA/RWE applications through the current channel.  Any MRPV MoA applications submitted prior to the official transition date will be rejected.
