National Network Map – Now available

The NHVR continues to deliver on its commitment to improve and simplify the way the heavy vehicle industry accesses information through the NHVR Portal.

The NHVR has released another key Portal initiative through the delivery of the first heavy vehicle National Network Map.

The National Network Map supports improved heavy vehicle access efficiency and decision-making by bringing together the state-based heavy vehicle networks and displaying them in one location.

The NHVR has been working with jurisdictional partners in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and the Australian Capital Territory to transition their networks and achieve this important outcome.

What is the National Network Map?

The National Network Map is the single and authoritative location for the heavy vehicle industry to map journeys across state and territory borders for their entire fleet.

The Map is the first time operators can view where they can access, and where they need to seek access approval, on a national level.

Key benefits for the heavy vehicle industry include:

  • The ability to search by and view available networks for more than 1,000 heavy vehicle configurations, providing better visibility and fleet management decision making.
  • Road network changes will be made in real-time to ensure the most accurate network access information.
  • An easily identifiable view of approved, conditional or restricted routes using a traffic light colour scheme.
  • Different map layers that can be turned on and off to identify rest areas, height restrictions and road disruptions.

How to access the National Network Map

  • The National Network Map is available at https://maps.nhvr.gov.au.
  • The map is also available through the NHVR Portal.
  • States and territory maps provide a redirection link to the National Network Map.
  • Tasmanian networks are not included in the National Network Map at this stage.

Using the Route Planner

All the maps in the National Network Map are also displayed in the NHVR Portal Next Generation Route Planner (NGRP).

This means that when an access permit is required, operators can choose the most accurate route when planning and applying for a permit application across all jurisdictions.

Webinars

A series of webinars will be held to provide a walkthrough of how to use the map and answer any questions you may have. For more information, see Events.
