Permits & road occupancy

Compliant access, without the approvals headache

Permits and road occupancy handled for you

Working on or near a road often means more than just traffic control, it means road occupancy permits, occupation licences and council or Transport and Main Roads approvals before work can even begin. We coordinate these permits and approvals as part of your project, not as a separate hurdle you have to manage yourself.

Every road occupation permit is matched to your actual Traffic Management Plan and Traffic Guidance Scheme, so what’s approved on paper is exactly what’s delivered on site. That alignment matters if a principal, council or TMR officer ever reviews the job, since the permit, the plan and the site all need to tell the same story.

For jobs spanning council and state-controlled roads, or crossing between local government areas, we manage the different permit and road occupancy requirements of each, so a multi-jurisdiction project doesn’t get held up chasing separate approvals piecemeal.

Do you handle the road occupancy permit application, or do we need to apply ourselves?

We coordinate road occupancy permits and approvals as part of your traffic management engagement, so it’s one less thing for your team to manage separately.

A Traffic Management Plan sets out how traffic will be controlled on site; a road occupancy permit is the council or TMR approval that allows you to occupy the road in the first place. We align both so they match.

Yes, we coordinate the different permit and approval requirements of each local government area or state-controlled road your project touches.
