    How to Apply for Road Closure v2

    • Purpose & how to use: Step-by-step instructions for closing a road for an event in Western Australia. Use it well before the event when planning a street festival, market or block party.
    • Who it's for: Town Teams and event leads in WA running street-based events.
    • Key points: Start by planning the timing, location, detours and impact on businesses and residents, and consult the Public Transport Authority, FESA, hospital/ambulance, community groups, sponsors and neighbours. You'll typically need a Certified Traffic Management Team and an early meeting with your council, after which you complete the WA Police "Order for Road Closure" form and collect signatures from the Town Team, council, police and Main Roads WA. Police fees range from about $80.90 to $200.60 depending on category, and a Notification Letter must be delivered within a 1km radius four weeks ahead of the event.
