A vitally important part of projects ranging from construction site management to event organisation, traffic management plans (TMPs) ensure that vehicles, pedestrians, workers, and members of the public can safely share space. Developing a plan that meets all the necessary requirements can be time-consuming and complex. That’s where Peak Traffic Services can help.
As a highly experienced traffic management company operating across Australia, Peak Traffic Services provides complete solutions for your traffic management needs. From designing compliant traffic management plans to obtaining the necessary authorisations for works on roads and providing the manpower and equipment to implement the plan, we offer a total service.

What Is the Difference Between a Traffic Control Permit and a Memorandum of Authorisation (MoA)?
Specific permission is required from the relevant authority to carry out roadworks, occupy road reserves, or otherwise disrupt traffic. The type of permission needed depends on the road occupancy:
- Permits are issued by local councils and are required for work on council-owned roads.
- Memorandums of Authorisation (MoAs) are required for work taking place on state or territory government-owned roads.
Some projects may require both; others may only need one.
Traffic Management MoA
What Is Needed to Secure a Traffic Management Permit or MoA?
Before permission is granted, a traffic management plan (TMP) must be submitted. A TMP outlines how road users will be safely managed while works are taking place. It includes details on how road and footpath occupants will be managed, as well as what equipment (e.g., water-filled barriers, signage) will be used to ensure safety at all times.
TMPs must comply with numerous legal requirements and strict codes of practice, such as:
- Australian Standard AS 1742.3
- The Road Management Act 2004 (and relevant state-based regulations)
