Create a company account

You need a company account to apply for highways' pre-application advice and edit your company details.

In this section you will find information on what is a company account, the types of users you can set up and what you can do with your account.

Does your organisation already have an account?

If your organisation has already applied for highways' pre-application advice, permits or licences such as road closures, skips etc. via our online systems, your organisation should already have an account which means you can go to the apply section.

Your organisation does not have yet a company account

As part of the company account creation, you will be required to create one company user. This user will automatically be a company administrator.

Company administrators

  • can create additional company users (these can be administrators or ordinary users)

    • the login area of each account gives access to information stored about the company (for example the status of works, payments and public liability insurance and NRSWA licence details)
  • will need to control how many users are set up as access to the login area gives access to a lot of data
  • can change company details (address, company email, telephone number etc)
  • can disable company users (for employees who may have left) - it is important to disable users when they leave your company or move roles
  • can change the password of company users

In addition, company administrators are able to do the same actions as company users.

Company users
