Temporary road closures and traffic management plans

1 Aug 2014, 1:45 PM

If you are planning an event that requires some or all of a local road to be closed temporarily, contact us to discuss your needs.

Traffic management needs to be considered where an event disrupts the normal flow of traffic or pedestrian access, e.g. parades, marches, filming, markets, community, school, sporting or church events and building and construction work.

We will provide you with guidance to ensure you comply with traffic management plan requirements.
