Plain-English explanation
The key points, split into simple blocks so the page is useful without feeling like a wall of text.
Review variables
Review time depends on the RCA, road type, completeness of the submission, work complexity, public transport impacts, state highway interfaces and whether comments need a response. Simple, complete submissions on local roads are usually faster than complex or incomplete ones.
Planning backwards from start date
Work backwards from the desired start date and allow time for design, internal checking, RCA review, comments, amendments and contractor mobilisation. Starting the TMP conversation on the day work is planned is a common cause of delay.
Urgent work cautions
Urgency does not remove the need for clear information. A complete brief is the fastest useful starting point when time is tight. Authority review pathways still apply, so urgent jobs need accurate, well-organised submissions.
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.
