G591:2006 Telecommunications in Road Reserves – Operational Guidelines for Installations

Provides guidance for Road Authorities and Carriers to manage their respective facilities in road reserves safely, effectively and efficiently. It provides guidance on co-ordination, considerations for positioning telecommunications facilities in road reserves, attachment of telecommunications facilities to road authority structures, planning and sharing information.

In 2024 a variation to the Guideline was made to address the positioning of a Carrier’s facilities in road reserves with respect to road traffic and vibration during future road rehabilitation works and to update a recommendation to place a Carrier’s facility away from the pavement and as close to the Registered Property boundary, rather than a boundary fence, as practicable. Minor editorial amendments were also made throughout the Guideline.
