Preparation & Submission
Our experienced team ensure that every submission meets the relevant authority’s requirements, providing accurate documentation, clear Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) and Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS), and prompt responses to agency feedback. We maintain open communication with stakeholders to minimise delays and ensure works commence as scheduled.
TRAFFIC GUIDANCE SCHEME
A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is a detailed plan that outlines how traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users will be safely managed around a temporary work area. It forms a critical part of any roadwork or roadside activity and must comply with all relevant Council and State Government requirements.
A well-designed TGS ensures that the work site is safely implemented with clear signage, appropriate lane closures, and defined paths for all road user groups. It considers factors such as vehicle speeds, sight distance, traffic volumes, access for businesses and residents, and the safety of workers within the site.
At APX Traffic Management, every TGS is prepared in line with the latest Austroads and State and or Council requirements and local authority standards. Our experienced designers develop site-specific plans to ensure safety, compliance, and minimal disruption for the travelling public while enabling works to proceed efficiently and responsibly.
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is a comprehensive document that details how roadwork activities will be planned, coordinated, and controlled to ensure the safety of all road users and workers. It outlines the overall strategy for managing traffic impacts during construction or maintenance activities and demonstrates compliance with all Council, State Government, and Austroads requirements.
A TMP considers all stages of the project — from design through to completion — addressing key factors such as site access, work staging, traffic volumes, detour routes, signage, speed management, and emergency access. It also includes supporting documents such as Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS), risk assessments, and communication strategies for affected stakeholders.
At APX Traffic Management, every TMP is developed by qualified Traffic Management Designers (TMDs) and reviewed for compliance in line with the latest Austroads (AGTTM) and State and or Council requirements and local authority standards. Our plans provide a clear, structured approach that enables works to be carried out safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to the community.
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PERMITS
At APX Traffic Management, we understand that obtaining the necessary permits is a critical step in delivering compliant and efficient projects. Our team offers a complete Permit Application and Management service to support clients through every stage of the approval process.
Whether your works are located on local Council roads or State-controlled networks, APX can prepare, lodge, and manage applications on your behalf. This includes Road Occupancy Licences (ROLs), Permits, Police notifications, and public transport or bus-operator concurrence where required.
At APX we are able to prepare the required documentation for S138 approvals as well as handle the submission process.

The types of work requiring approval include, but are not limited to:
-

-
erecting, removing or interfering with a structure, work or tree on a public road (includes using small and/or large machinery on a public road)
-
pumping water into a public road from adjoining land
-
driving any vehicle across a kerb or footpath

creating a temporary vehicle crossing
-
connecting a road (whether public or private) to a public road.
Our experienced staff ensure that every submission meets the relevant authority’s requirements, providing accurate documentation, clear Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) and Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS), and prompt responses to agency feedback.
We maintain open communication with stakeholders to minimise delays and ensure works commence as scheduled.
When requested by the client, APX handles the entire process — from preparing compliant documentation to securing final approval — giving our clients confidence that all legislative, Council, and State Government obligations are met
before works begin.
ROAD
OCCUPANCY
LICENCE
A Road Occupancy Licence (ROL) is an approval issued by a road authority (such as Transport for NSW or a local council) that grants permission to occupy part of the road corridor for a specific period to carry out works or place temporary traffic management.
The ROL ensures that:
-
Road space is used safely and efficiently.
-
Impacts on traffic flow, pedestrians, and public transport are minimised.
-
The proposed Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGSs) comply with relevant standards (e.g. Austroads, AGTTM & TCAW).
