Traffic Management Plans

Any construction works changing the usual operations of our roads, streets and footpaths within the City of Maribyrnong, will require a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) for approval.

This requirement is in accordance with the Road Management Act 2004 (A code of practice for worksite safety – traffic management), the Road Safety Act 1986 and Australian Standard AS 1742.3 2009 Traffic control devices for works on roads.

To download a copy of the Standard Conditions see the related information section.

A Traffic Management Plan covers such things as temporary changes to traffic conditions, road and footpath closures and traffic detours. All TMPs submitted for approval must meet the following terms and conditions:

  • All TMPs must be prepared by a professional traffic consultant or company and must be in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1742.3 2009. See VicRoads ‘Register of prequalified Contractors & Consultants’
  • Please ensure the information provided is true and accurate. Any inaccurate information or inconsistencies may result in the assessment of your application being either delayed or rejected.

Our Engineering Services Department will review your TMP to assess the impact on the movement or safety of pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists or vehicles. If appropriate, we will issue a Traffic Management Plan approval, subject to conditions.

If you do not comply with all the conditions, the Maribyrnong City Council may revoke any approvals and may pursue enforcement action.
