Proposed Road Stopping
'Road stopping' is the term given to changing land with the legal status of road to a freehold title. Customers wanting to apply for road stopping generally have an existing need, eg:
- they have illegally built a structure, fence or deck on the legal road corridor (berm, footpath and road);
- they own all the adjoining properties and want to include the road in their ownership.
| Road(s) | Period | Reason |
