Access the National Automated Access System (NAAS)

The NAAS is a web-based system accessible by anyone. You will not require a username or password, or an account. The web address (URL) will be provided prior to the NAAS release.

Industry operators enter vehicle combination details including dimensions and mass, and telematics details for vehicle eligibility directly into NAAS.

The system will:

• confirm the vehicle is eligible for access via the NAAS and issues the operator with a unique vehicle code for future use
• assess road and bridge access automatically against the actual vehicle
• generate a state-wide access map for the operator's unique vehicle combination with roads and bridges displayed as unconditional, conditional, or no access
• enable the operator to identify a viable route for a journey
• confirm any pilot and escort requirements
• confirm special travel conditions over bridges
• include other important information (e.g. time curfews and road closures).

The map generated is the legal access map that allows a journey to start.

No access

There may be instances where the mass and dimensions a vehicle operates under the current access regime are not available under notice access. If you find a bridge or road on your preferred route is labelled as 'no access', you have the following 4 options:

• Reduce the load mass and amend your combination details.
• Amend the combination details and change the vehicle configuration such as adding additional axles to spread the load across more axles to reduce the individual axle masses.
• Plan the journey around the no access bridges and roads.
• Apply for a NHVR Permit (via the NHVR GO Portal) if these options do not yield a viable route for the journey under notice.

The advantage of the NAAS is that the operator will be advised of all restricted bridges and roads quickly and will be able to explore options to facilitate notice access in real-time within the NAAS.
