Terrigal Drive, The Esplanade, Terrigal Beach precinct and Crowne Plaza conference event traffic. That's the kind of local road environment we plan around across the Central Coast.
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. A TGS for Terrigal is drawn to scale for the actual street layout, with every sign, taper and controller positioned for the local road environment.

Traffic management in Terrigal
Terrigal Drive and The Esplanade converge at the beach precinct in one of the Central Coast's busiest leisure destinations, where summer weekend traffic volumes routinely exceed the capacity of the surrounding parking and access network, requiring active traffic management at key intersections. The Crowne Plaza and surrounding conference and hospitality venues generate event-day traffic spikes that compress arrival and departure flows onto Terrigal Drive within short time windows, calling for coordinated traffic and pedestrian management plans. Works anywhere along the foreshore road network must be scheduled to avoid peak summer and public-holiday periods when visitor volumes are at their highest.

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.
