For simple Traffic Management Plans, the following can be used as a guide;

• Times and dates the obstruction/s will occur*
• A site plan showing which area/s will be affected (crossover / verge / footpath / road) including indicative measurements, street tree locations or anything else that is in close vicinity and may be impacted by the works

The location and type of signage** to be installed, traffic cone and personnel placement

*Traffic management will not be approved, if the works are in streets surrounding school zones and will impact school pick-up and drop-off times. Road and path obstructions are best done in the middle of the day to minimise impact on the public.

** “Footpath Closed” or “Use Other Footpath” signage is preferable over generic “works ahead” signage for footpath closures / obstructions.

If your works are deemed complex, you may be required to obtain formal traffic management through a qualified traffic management company.  

To submit a traffic management plan, please email admin@eastfremantle.wa.gov.au

There are no fees applicable for assessment and approval of Traffic Management Plans. 

Timeframe

• 7 working days are required to assess simple plans and provide approval, providing all information is supplied. 

Please note, a complex plan including road closures may take up to 14 working days to assess, providing all information is supplied..

If you are conducting an event you should submit the Traffic Management Plan with the event application.

Review process

The Town reviews the Plans for the purpose of general oversight.

The following is taken into consideration:

• The local road environment
• Pedestrians and cyclists
• Speed zones and known traffic behaviours
• Heavy vehicles, traffic efficiency
• The timing and duration of the project

For formal traffic management, is the responsibility of the RTM or AWTM to make sure that the plan complies to AS 1742.3 Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices Part 3 Works on Roads, and the Main Roads WA Code of Practice Traffic Management for Works on Roads. 

The Town will confirm the approval in writing. Work (other than emergency work) or the event must not commence until this confirmation has been received by the workers on site.
