The below documentation is required to progress an OSOM application:
- Axle spacing and weights

- Any other pertinent information/documents in support of the application i.e. NHVR permit for the vehicle/s you intend to use, Traffic Management Plan (TMP) or any other relevant documents that you believe would assist in supporting your application.
Permit Approval
Once approval is provided by UGLRL, the recommendation is issued for the period indicated on the Permit, unless cancelled by UGLRL or surrendered by the Applicant.
