NHVR Bushire Bulletin 2

Updated at 2020-01-10 05:03:56 Posted in (Primary)NHVR,

Bulletin 2: Released on 10 January 2020


              The effects of bushfires are continuing to impact heavy vehicle operations across Australia, with some areas of the country experiencing deteriorating conditions.

NHVR is urging all heavy vehicle operators to take steps to ensure safe travel when operating in and around areas affected by bushfires.

Where possible operators should avoid travelling in bushfire impacted zones, however if required be aware of local emergency access arrangements.

The following Bulletin answers some of the questions we’ve received in relation to bushfire recovery.

The next Bulletin will be available on January 15.

Nullarbor re-opened

The Eyre Highway and the Coolgardie-Esperance Highway have been re-opened in both directions.

Some speed restrictions are in place, and a large number of heavy and light vehicles are currently moving in both directions.

The NHVR and other agencies are on site to assist with the flow of traffic.

Operators are asked to ensure they carry sufficient fuel and water, as many roadhouses will be low or out of stock.

Please stay up-to-date with the status of both highways, as conditions could change at short notice.

Heavy vehicle access across bushfire affected areas.

The NHVR is experiencing a significantly increased number of permit applications. We request operators to avoid any non-essential permit applications in the coming weeks.

Heavy vehicle operators on the road should take a number of steps when accessing bushfire-affected areas.

  1. Check the local road conditions through state government websites. A list of websites with the latest information about road conditions can be found below.
  2. If travelling in an affected area, check with local emergency services or recovery operations.
  3. Ensure your vehicle is able to travel on the existing network. If you’re travelling outside of these networks, you may need to obtain a permit through the NHVR Portal at www.service.nhvr.gov.au/ or call 1300 696 487 for assistance.
  4. Ensure you have enough food and water supplies in case of unexpected conditions, and avoid using back tracks or off-network roads to get around road closures.
