What is a traffic management plan?
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is a formal, site-specific document that details how pedestrian and vehicular movement will be safely controlled during construction, roadworks, or public events.
Traffic Management Plan (TMP) are to be prepared by a qualified company or professional. Refer to Transport Victoria's accredited company list.
When is traffic management needed?
TMPs are required in accordance with the Road Management Act 2004, the Road Safety Act 1986 and Australian Standard AS 1742.3 2019 Traffic control devices for works on roads.
If you are conducting works or events on or near the road, it is important to ensure that:
- other road users can continue to use the road safely
- there is minimal disruptions as far as possible.
If you are planning to conduct works or events that’ll impact traffic on council roads. This includes impacts on pedestrians, cyclists and general traffic, you will need to ensure that:
- you have given appropriate warning to other road users about the works
- you are protecting other road users from potential hazards.
Who needs to apply
You will need councils consent if you require temporary traffic control devices such as bollards or signage to manage traffic around your works or event where Moorabool Shire council is the road authority.
If works are on an arterial road, you must have consent from DTP.
Who doesn't need to apply
Emergency maintenance works undertaken for utility services and Public Transport Victoria are exempt from obtaining authorisation for a Traffic Management Plan on the Council road reserve.
When do you need to apply?
Submit your application at least 10 business days before your planned works. This lets council process your application on time and also allows us to review and amend an application if required.
An urgent processing fee can be paid to be approved within 3 buisness days.

How to apply
What happens next?
Works must not commence until the permit is issued
We will review your application within 10 workings day unless a 3 day urgent fee has been paid.
Depending on your proposed traffic management and the impact on the road network, you may also need other documents, such as a detour plan or aftercare plan.
If your works or event impacts a Department of Transport (DoT) arterial road or requires major traffic control devices we can’t authorise, you’ll also need a Memorandum of Authorisation from DoT. You can find more info on DoT’s website.
We will require confirmation DoT has approved any traffic management on their roads.
This application is only for consent to erect temporary control devices. Depending on your works, you might need other approvals.
