Schedule 1: Table of Amended Routes

COLUMN 1 Authorising Provision	COLUMN 2 Network	COLUMN 3 Locality	COLUMN 4 Changes to Route	COLUMN 5 Road Manager Reasons for Change
s173 and s175 HVNL	Victoria Grain Harvest Management Scheme (GHMS) - Rigid trucks & Semi-Trailers All B-Doubles operating under Victoria's Grain Harvest Management Scheme.	Maroondah City Council	Remove the following roads: New Street, Ringwood (between Albert Street and Molan Street)	This section of New Street was previously approved for access during Heatherdale Level Crossing Removal Project, which has now been completed. Due to the semi-industrial and semi-residential character of neighbouring properties and the truck bans on side streets of New Street, it is inappropriate to keep the route on the network nor is it expected to be in high demand for access by heavy vehicles under GHMS.
s173 and s175 HVNL	Victoria Victoria's Emergency Response Combination Network (46t, 3m wide, 4.5m high, 19m long) Victorian Emergency Response Combination Network (78.5t, 4m wide, 5m high & 26m long)	Maroondah City Council	Add restrictions on the following roads. Eastfield Road bridge between Railway Avenue and Dunn Street - 33 tonne mass limit Oliver Street bridge over Mullum Mullum Creek - 33 tonne mass limit Colchester Road culvert between Eycot Street and Beresford Drive - 33 tonne mass limit Tintern Avenue between Dunlop Avenue and Rozelle Avenue - 47 tonne mass limit Ringwood Street between Ringwood Bypass and Nelson Street - 75 tonne mass limit	Maroondah City Council has found that Council assets require restrictions added on networks, due to their structural limitations.
s173 and s175 HVNL	Victoria Victoria's Emergency Response Combination Network (46t, 3m wide, 4.5m high, 19m long) Victorian Emergency Response Combination Network (78.5t, 4m wide, 5m high & 26m long)	Wellington Shire Council	Add restrictions: There are a large number of bridges on our road network that have a load limit of less than the maximum gross combination mass of 78.5t.	We want to add some conditions to the notice that may not be present in the current notice. The new conditions are regarding the load limit of the bridges on our roads.
s173 and s175 HVNL	Queensland 25m B-Double Network Type 1 Road Train Network PBS Level 1 and 2 Network	Central Highlands Regional Council	Remove the following roads: Tryphinia Road, Wallaroo QLD (full length)	Council has been liaising with Aurizon regarding its proposal to install flashing lights and boom gates on the rail crossing on Tryphinia Road, Wallaroo. This will leave a distance of 19m on Tryphinia Road between the rail line (shown as black and white dotted line in the image above) and the Capricorn Highway. Aurizon has applied to TMR for permission to install road signage limiting general access to 19m only, with vehicles over 19m requiring Aurizon’s permission to access. Accordingly, council will need to ensure that all pre-approvals for SPV, OSOM, PBS and all national notices: 1. Exclude Tryphinia Road; and 2. All permits for Tryphinia Road for vehicle configurations over 19m requires individual NHVR permit requests.
