Summer Hill · Inner West
We handle traffic guidance schemes in Summer Hill, from the first plan to the final pack-down. Old Canterbury Road, Face Street and Summer Hill Station precinct improvements. Schemes are designed for the real road environment, approved by the right authorities and delivered safely.
What's included
To-scale schemes, drawn for your site, that show where every sign, taper and controller goes. Known as TCPs until recently, and drawn to standard so they pass approval. In Summer Hill the scheme has to suit real lane widths and movements, so we design to AS 1742.3 and the TCAWS for the specific site.

Traffic management in Summer Hill
Summer Hill Station precinct improvements and heritage streetscape works along Old Canterbury Road require sensitive traffic management that respects the suburb's fine-grained residential fabric and active village centre on Face Street. Construction vehicles accessing tight inner-west sites must be managed within approved delivery windows, and pedestrian paths around the station must remain safe and clearly delineated throughout any works.

FAQ
Traffic Guidance Schemes — common questions
What is a Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS)?
A TGS is a site-specific, to-scale diagram that shows exactly where every advance-warning sign, cone, barrier, taper and traffic controller goes around a work zone or event. In NSW it replaced the older term Traffic Control Plan (TCP), and a compliant TGS is drawn to the TfNSW TCAWS manual and AS 1742.3.
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.
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.
What standards do your traffic management documents follow?
In NSW, temporary traffic management documents are prepared to the Transport for NSW Traffic Control at Work Sites (TCAWS) manual, which supplements Australian Standard AS 1742.3 (traffic control for works on roads). Swept-path and vehicle-access checks reference the AS 2890 series and Austroads design vehicles. We prepare TGS and TMP documents to these current standards through PWZTMP-accredited designers.
