Traffic management in Double Bay
Double Bay's Knox Street retail strip and ferry wharf generate sustained kerbside pressure along New South Head Road, where bus routes, ride-share pick-ups and delivery vehicles compete for limited space. Waterfront events, market days and hospitality trade in this affluent village precinct regularly require short-duration road occupancy permits and pedestrian management to keep the busy eastern harbour corridor moving safely.
FAQ
Construction Traffic Management — common questions
Do I need a Traffic Management Plan for my project or event?
You generally need a TMP or CTMP whenever works or an event will affect how traffic, pedestrians or cyclists move on a public road — for example lane or road closures, footpath closures, or construction traffic entering a busy street. For construction a CTMP is frequently a condition of development consent; for events a TMP is required if you're closing or significantly affecting public roads. If unsure, a quick site review will confirm which document your job needs.
What's the difference between a TGS, a TMP and a CTMP?
A TMP is the high-level document that explains why and how a project affects the road network and sets the controls; a TGS is the diagram showing where each device and controller is placed and usually sits inside the TMP; a CTMP is a TMP written for a construction site and is commonly a condition of a Development Approval. The TMP says why and how, the TGS shows exactly where, and a CTMP is the construction version of a TMP.
What is a Road Occupancy Licence (ROL) and when do I need one?
A Road Occupancy Licence is formal Transport for NSW approval to occupy or affect the state (classified) road network. You generally need one to work on a state road, within 100 m of traffic signals, or wherever works affect traffic flow, queues or safety on a state road. Council-controlled local roads are approved by the council instead, and the ROL application must match your TGS.
Why was a generic or template traffic plan rejected by council?
Generic templates are one of the most common reasons councils reject a submission, because they don't show the real site-specific detail — exact clearances, bus zones, driveways, fire hydrants, school-crossing locations and local constraints. NSW councils require a plan drawn for your specific site by an accredited designer to TCAWS and AS 1742.3, so replacing a template with a site-specific TGS is usually what gets an application approved.
