Plain-English explanation
The key points, split into simple blocks so the page is useful without feeling like a wall of text.
Detour planning
A good detour is suitable for the traffic that will use it, including heavy vehicles, buses, cyclists and emergency services. It should be signed clearly and avoid low bridges, narrow gaps or residential streets that cannot cope with diverted traffic.
Stakeholder notes
Road closures affect residents, businesses, emergency services, public transport, schools and event venues. The TMP or supporting methodology should show how these groups were considered and who will be notified.
RCA timing
RCAs need time to review closures, especially if detours cross other authorities or state highways. Submit early and be ready to adjust dates based on feedback or conflicting works in the area.

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.
