Road Occupancy Licence Applications for NSW State Roads
We prepare ROL applications for state roads managed by Transport for NSW. While local councils manage local roads, works on state or regional roads require a Road Occupancy Licence from Transport for NSW.
The ROL process is often more stringent than a local council permit. It usually requires precise timing and a detailed Traffic Control Plan to show how traffic will be diverted safely, and we design that plan for you.
What is included
- ROL and TfNSW applications
- A detailed, site-specific Traffic Control Plan to support the application

FAQs
When do I need a Road Occupancy Licence instead of a council permit?
A council permit is required for local, council-owned roads. A Road Occupancy Licence is required for state roads managed by Transport for NSW.
How long does an ROL take to get approved?
Transport for NSW generally requires a minimum of 10 business days for standard applications, though complex shutdowns can take longer.
How are ROL applications submitted?
ROL applications for state roads are submitted through the Opira system (formerly ORAMS).
Can ROL work happen during peak hours?
An ROL is usually granted for specific dates and strictly governed time slots. If your site is on a main road, your licence will likely be restricted to out-of-hours work to avoid peak-hour clearways.
