Planning a community event, street party or festival? If your evet affects traffic - whether it's vehicles or pedestrians - you will need a Traffic Management Plan (TMP).
When is a TMP required?
A Traffic Management Plan is legally required for any event that:
- Takes place on a street or road
- Stops, delays or increases vehicle or pedestrian traffic
All TMPs must be prepared by a registered traffic management company.
Talk to us early in your planning, we can guide you through what’s needed and help avoid delays.
Pre-approved TMP locations
To make things easier, we’ve pre-approved TMPs at selected Council sites. Hosting your event at one of these locations can simplify the process and reduce costs. It’s a great option for fun, low-impact events like markets or performances.

Road closures
If your event involves closing a road:
- you must publicly notify the closure
- Submit your application at least 10 weeks before the event to allow time for the public notification.
- A TMP is also required for every road closure.
