To apply for an OSOM permit for roads within the Singleton local government area, you must fully complete the Oversize Overmass Permit request form. A fee is payable for the processing of the application and must be paid prior to a permit being issued. Lodgement of an application is not a guarantee that a permit will be issued. Once completed the form should be submitted via email to Singleton Council. Please allow 10 working days to process your application. If you are also applying to Roads and Maritime Services to travel on state roads as part of the same trip, a copy of this permit must be included with your application.
