Excess Mass and dimension conditions of Operations

Vehicles operating under excess mass and/or excess dimension guidelines or permits can potentially damage the road infrastructure and effect the safety of other road users.

To reduce the risks associated with the use of these vehicles, conditions of operation may be imposed on their operation.

General conditions of operation are included in the excess mass and excess dimension guidelines and conditions of operation for specific operations are issued with excess mass permits and Letters of No Objection (LONO).

Warning: It is the operator's responsibility to ensure compliance with current conditions of operation.

To assist operators meet the responsibility a Conditions of Operation Database for the state-controlled road network has been developed for public use.

Note: due to the recent regional government amalgamations, Main Roads is currently transitioning from a district to a regional based structure that is consistent with the new local government boundaries. Until this transition is complete, the Conditions of Operation database will refer to the older district boundaries maps.


To access the Condition of Operation Database, follow this link: Conditions of Operation Database.
