What's included
Work-zone traffic, lane and road closures, and pedestrian management for civil and building works. We write the Construction Traffic Management Plan your consent requires, then put crews on site to run it. Work-zone traffic in The Entrance covers lane and road closures, site access and pedestrian protection, all to the TCAWS and your consent conditions.

Traffic management in The Entrance
The Entrance Road is the only direct route into and out of this popular Central Coast holiday town, and the Tuggerah Lake bridges that carry it become severe bottlenecks during summer school holidays when visitor numbers multiply the resident population several times over. Foreshore events, markets, and the famous pelican feeding draw pedestrian crowds to the lakeside reserve, creating a recurring need for road-closure and pedestrian-management plans that protect access for emergency vehicles on a network where alternative routes add significant travel time.

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.
