The emphasis on using the road network more effectively and efficiently has grown significantly over recent years. With this, the need to manage our existing road space more effectively will be of paramount importance. Access management is a key component to achieving this goal. Access management focuses on ensuring the safety and efficiency of the road network, by providing appropriate access to adjoining properties. This requires a systematic approach to facilitate logical and consistent decision making. This VicRoads Access Management Policies sets out the legislative and practical mechanisms to assist in achieving the above objectives.
