Compliance standards: MUTCD QLD & TMR Code of Practice
Every shift delivered to MUTCD QLD, the TMR Code of Practice, AS 1742 and Austroads, the frameworks that keep your project compliant and audit-ready across South East Queensland and Northern NSW.
Need a compliant crew on site?
Planned works or emergency response, we mobilise across South East Queensland and Northern NSW.
Every shift, built to the standard
The frameworks that govern how we operate
As part of our wider safety and compliance programme, every Safe Traffic Management engagement is delivered to MUTCD QLD, the TMR Code of Practice, AS 1742, Austroads and the WHS Act (Qld). These aren’t optional extras bolted on for government clients, they’re the baseline every crew works to, on every site, every time.
MUTCD QLD sets the manual of uniform traffic control devices for Queensland, covering how signage, devices and controls must be set up on live roads. The TMR Code of Practice governs how Transport and Main Roads expects traffic management to be planned, implemented and reported on state-controlled roads. We hold our crews, our Traffic Management Plans and our reporting to both, so principals and regulators get a consistent, audit-ready standard regardless of who’s on site.
Compliance standards aren’t static. As MUTCD QLD, TMR requirements and Australian Standards are updated, our SWMS, training and site procedures are reviewed and updated with them, so your government and council clients are never working to an outdated version of the rules.

Questions, answered
The things clients ask most before engaging a traffic management partner. Need something specific to your site? Talk to our team.
What is MUTCD QLD and why does it matter for my project?
MUTCD QLD is the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Queensland, the reference standard for how signage and traffic control devices must be set up on Queensland roads. Working to it is how we keep your project compliant and defensible if it’s ever reviewed.
Do you comply with the TMR Code of Practice on all jobs, or only government ones?
Every engagement is delivered to the TMR Code of Practice as standard, whether the client is a government agency, a council, or a private contractor.
How do you keep up with changes to compliance standards?
Our SWMS, training and site procedures are reviewed whenever MUTCD QLD, TMR requirements or the relevant Australian Standards are updated, so crews are never working to an outdated version.
Can you provide evidence of compliance for an audit?
Yes. GPS-verified, time-stamped inspections and digital reporting are standard on every shift, so evidence is ready whenever a principal or regulator asks for it.
Do compliance standards differ between council and state (TMR) projects?
There’s overlap, but council and TMR projects can carry different specific requirements. We confirm the applicable standards for your project before work starts.
What areas do you cover?
We operate across South East Queensland, including Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, as well as Northern New South Wales.
