Accident towing allocation map
Tow trucks are assigned to jobs in Melbourne and some parts of Geelong.
An accident allocation centre asks tow trucks to attend accidents in the Melbourne region and certain parts of Geelong.
The accident towing allocation maps show what parts of the Melbourne Controlled Area and the Self-managed area of Geelong that are covered by an allocation centre.
An allocation centre will only assign tow trucks for vehicles that have a gross vehicle mass of less than 4 tonnes. Heavier vehicles are managed by specialist tow truck services.
Melbourne depot boundary maps
In the Melbourne Controlled Area, each depot has their own boundary. Tow trucks take accident vehicles to the depot responsible for that part of Melbourne.
We’ve noted some suburbs within each boundary. A suburb may appear in more than one map. Check the map for exact boundaries.
