There are a diverse range of properties in Yarra Ranges including typical suburban streetscapes in urban areas, to large rural properties. Roads may be asphalt roads with concrete kerb and channel drainage or unmade gravel roads with open culvert drains.

The choice of vehicle crossover construction will need to be considered by Council officers, and if required, made up of several different construction methods chosen to best suit the property.
