Pavements and footpaths

We are responsible for over 1,300km of footpaths, usually called pavements. To maintain them in a safe condition and free from trip hazards, we carry out regular inspections. 

Parking on pavements

There is a national ban on pavement parking including parking on dropped kerbs and double parking. Find out more about the pavement parking and how to report it.

You can be charged for the costs of repairing damage to pavements and any services, pipes or cables that result from your driving or parking on a pavement.

Report a fault

It is likely that defects will occur between our inspections and members of the public play an important role in reporting them to us.

You can report an issue with pavement and view updates on already reported issues online.

Dropped kerbs

Dropped kerbs are provided at driveways to allow vehicles to safely cross the footpath. If you require drop kerbs at an access or driveway you must get permission from us.

It is an offence to carry out works to a footpath without the prior authorisation from us.
