Practical guide

Council submission checklist

A stronger council submission aligns the TMP, CAR, WAP details, dates, scope, road impacts, work method, drawings and contact information before review.

Faster decisions before you request support

  • Confirm the work location and RCA
  • Describe the work method and staging
  • Collect plans, photos and dates
  • Check pedestrian, cyclist and property access impacts

Plain-English explanation

The key points, split into simple blocks so the page is useful without feeling like a wall of text.

Before submission

Align the TMP, CAR, WAP details, dates, scope, road impacts, work method, drawings and contact information. Check that names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses are current and that the work description matches the plans.

During review

Respond promptly to RFIs, keep a comment tracker and do not change the work method without updating the TMP and CAR. Version control helps the reviewer see what changed between submissions.

After comments

Update all affected documents, not just the one the comment was on. A TMP change often means the CAR, WAP or drawing also needs updating. Send a clean version and a marked-up version if that helps the reviewer.

Before you request help

  • Confirm the work location and RCA
  • Describe the work method and staging
  • Collect plans, photos and dates
  • Check pedestrian, cyclist and property access impacts
  • Keep TMP, CAR and WAP details aligned

Common questions

Who reviews the TMP or CAR?

The relevant council, RCA or network owner reviews the submission. Our role is to help make the information clearer, more complete and easier to respond to.

What do you need before starting?

Send the work location, scope, dates, site plans or markups, methodology, hours of work, access needs, photos if available, and any RCA comments already received.

Can you work with our on-road crew or traffic management provider?

Yes. Your TMP Designer can provide the planning, documentation and drawing support and can also scope on-road establishment and traffic management for the job.

Start with the job details

Tell us what is happening on the road or at the worksite.

Send the location, intended dates, work activity and any drawings, authority comments or site information already available.
