Moving Permits

A moving permit is issued free of charge and is meant to inform operators of larger vehicles of the best route through the City to avoid any road restrictions. Additional permits are required to move over sized loads (including farm equipment) or buildings into and out of the City. Those travelling within the City multiple times may request to be added to the Road Closure email list to find out about ongoing and future road closures.
