Traffic management in Lane Cove
Burns Bay Road and Longueville Road converge on Lane Cove town centre's retail strip, which sits directly above the Lane Cove Tunnel portals — creating a situation where surface works must be carefully staged to avoid disrupting tunnel ventilation infrastructure and the heavy traffic volumes the tunnel draws to the area. Retail activation events along the pedestrian mall and ongoing apartment development along the corridor generate a steady stream of traffic-management and council-permit requirements.

FAQ
Accredited Traffic Control — common questions
What's the difference between a traffic controller and a plan implementer?
A Traffic Controller (TCR) directs traffic using a stop/slow bat or portable device but does not set up or pack down the site. A Traffic Plan Implementer (IMP) sets up, monitors and removes the signs and devices to a nominated TGS but does not control traffic with a bat or change the plan. Many sites need both, which is why crews are carded for the specific role they perform.
Who is legally allowed to prepare a TGS or TMP in NSW?
Only a person holding the SafeWork NSW Prepare a Work Zone Traffic Management Plan (PWZTMP) accreditation can legally design or modify a TGS or TMP, and a compliant TGS carries the accredited designer's name and TfNSW certification details. On the road, Traffic Controller (TCR) card-holders direct traffic and Traffic Plan Implementer (IMP) card-holders set up and pack down the scheme — different cards for different jobs.
Can one company both design the plan and run it on the road?
Yes, and that single line of accountability is the main reason to use a design-and-delivery firm. The same team can produce the TMP and TGS, secure the council approvals and Road Occupancy Licence, then deploy accredited crews and equipment to run the site to the approved scheme. Fewer hand-offs between a separate paper consultancy and a separate labour-hire crew means tighter compliance and one point of contact if something needs to change on the day.
What affects the cost of traffic management?
Cost is driven by complexity, not a flat rate. The main factors are how many distinct TGS diagrams the job needs (each work stage usually needs its own), the road type and speed zone, the hours of work (night, after-hours or same-day/emergency turnaround cost more), the length of engagement and crew numbers, and any permits, police user-pays or Road Occupancy Licence fees. We scope and quote each job on these factors rather than publish a fixed price; published figures from other providers are indicative market ranges only, not our quote.
