Availability of Western Power Statewide Permits for Vehicles up to 4.6 m high

Main Roads advises that Western Power recently made a policy announcement that loads greater than 4.3 m in height, but not exceeding 4.6 m, would no longer require Western Power approval for individual journeys.

A Statewide permit is now available, and covers a 6 month period, for loads up to 4.6 m in height.

There is a list of prohibited roads (with lower wires) and operational requirements – refer Western Power for more information on 131 087.
