Instead, they need special permission or must use specific entry/exit points. Removing this status means normal property access rules now apply.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Property owners and drivers in the East Devonport area\n- Local council and road authorities who now manage this road section under standard rules rather than special highway access restrictions\n\n**Why it matters:**\n- This change likely allows local properties to connect to these roads more easily, or reflects that this area functions more like local streets than a controlled highway. The specific roads affected are shown on Plan No. 4240."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Proclamations of this type are standard administrative instruments used routinely to give effect to specific road or jetty status changes.
