PLEASE NOTE: THIS APPLIES TO COUNCIL EVENTS AND EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS EXTERNAL EVENTS AND ORGANISATIONS

Over the past months there has been a lot of confusion over who, where and when you can use a VMS.  To make it simpler Council has implemented an application for the use of VMS in Moree Plains Shire.
If you wish to use a portable Variable Message Sign on any Moree Plains Shires road, park or open space you require Moree Plains Shire Council and, in most cases, Road and Traffic Authority (RTA) approval.

Council’s approval on classified roads is conditional on concurring approval from the RTA. You may also require planning approval if using a VMS on private property, in a park or open space. Please contact Council’s planning section on (02) 67573245 for further information.
Organisations and individuals wishing to use a VMS must complete the attached form and return to Council at least 4 weeks before you plan on using the VMS.  Four weeks notice is required so that the application can be assessed by Council’s Engineering Department, Council’s Planning & Development Department, the local traffic committee and the RTA.
Further copies of this application can be obtained by phoning Council’s Engineering Department on (02) 6757 3276.
