Use of a State road for filming
If you want to place traffic management signage or other traffic control devices on a State road as part of filming activities, you will require approval from the Department of State Growth.
Requests for filming that impact on a State road will not be supported by the Department if they:
- compromise the safety of road users and there is a risk or unnecessary disturbance to the public
- cause a major disruption to traffic flow or will disrupt traffic for an extended period of time
- cause a major disruption to public transport operations or access for an extended period of time
- risk damaging road infrastructure
- affect current road projects
- lack sufficient supporting information
- are not considered to be in the public interest.
There are restrictions on when activities can be done on State roads major commuting routes. More information can be found on the Restrictions on major commuting routes webpage.
It is recommended that permit holders obtain adequate public liability insurance coverage. State Growth accepts no responsibility for any personal injury, damage or loss in any way arising during the filming on a State road.
Applications
Applications must be received by the Department of State Growth at least 20 business days before your expected start date for filming, to allow enough time to assess your application.
Where applications are submitted less than five business days before the intended start date for works, applicants may be asked to nominate a new start date that allows enough time to assess the application before the assessment process starts.
