Heavy vehicles

National Network Map

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) host and maintain the National Network Map.


The National Network Map is for restricted access vehicles operating under gazette notice or permit. Each map specifies relevant gazette notices and/or pre-approved permit schemes. The NHVR website lists national notices, state notices and pre-approved schemes.

You can apply for an NHVR permit through the NHVR portal for:

  • vehicles and combinations not covered by gazette notice;
  • routes not part of the relevant network; or
  • permits for access to a pre-approved network.

In addition to a gazette notice or permit, heavy vehicles over certain limits will also need ODL rail crossing permits for all tram and rail line crossings.

All heavy vehicles must also adhere to all height clearances, signed mass limits and truck curfews.

The National Network Map is subject to constant updates, so check before you travel.
