TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Approval to Work Within Road Reserves

Prior to commencing works, approval shall be obtained from the agency responsible for the care, control and management of the relevant roads. Care should also be taken to ensure that all other required authorisations are obtained prior to the commencement of works. These might include agreement to any variations tot he application of this Code of Practice and/or Australian Standards, as well as any development, heritage, environmental and cultural clearances. Lengthy delays may be experienced if all necessary approvals are not obtained, increasing the risk of undesired traffic incidents.

In addition to obtaining approval to work within the road reserve from the relevant Road Authority, other agencies such as emergency services, Police, public transport etc in the area may need to be notified in advance of the impending works.

All approvals to conduct works on roads issued by MRWA, Local Governments or other Authorities responsible for roads, shall be suitably noted on the Traffic Management Plan. A mandatory condition requiring traffic management to be carried out in accordance with the requirements of this Code, subject to any agreed variations, shall be included with the approval.
