Traffic Management Permits
Traffic Management Permits
A traffic control permit is required for maintenance that is undertaken within the road reserve or for events that will significantly impact Council's roads or road reserve.
An application with LVRC needs to be lodged to obtain a ‘letter of acknowledgement’ for traffic management if you are:
- altering traffic conditions on a road
- temporarily closing car parks
- temporary closure of footpath
- conducting an event that impacts Council's roads directly including cycle events in live traffic or temporarily closing a road
- undertaking a Controlled Burn where smoke drift may impact on roads
- undertaking a development which includes works on a Council controlled road or road reserve.
These permits require a traffic management plan and/or a Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS), which must be prepared by an accredited traffic control provider in line with the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and include:
- Traffic guidance schemes of the sites showing appropriate signage, barricading and traffic control to be installed.
- Description of the proposed works and lane/road closures.
- Identification and assessment of traffic impacts of proposed works/event
- Proposed timeline for these works.
- Assessment of public transport services affected.
- Details of provisions made for emergency vehicles, heavy vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
- Proposed public notification process, if required.
Traffic Control Permit Applications can take up to 10 working days to process.
