Traffic Management Plans (TMP)

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) provides a plan on how road users will be safely and efficiently guided through a site where any activities carried out, such as construction work or events, impact the normal operation of a road network.

This applies to works on or near a road reserve, for a public event, or for any activity impacting the normal operation of the road or a pathway. The TMP needs to be prepared in accordance with Main Roads WA (MRWA) Works on Roads and/or Events Codes of Practice.

Submissions should allow up to 10 working days for simple TMP not involving road closures and 20 working days for TMPs involving works at a MRWA controlled signalised intersections or roads or for full or partial road closures of any duration./p>

There are fees for the reviewing and assessing of TMPs for Land Development subdivision works only. For the submission of TMPs relevant to this area, please visit: wanneroo.wa.gov.au/landdevelopment

For all other TMP assessments there are no fees at this time.

You can submit your concerns to: enquiries@wanneroo.wa.gov.au. Please provide photos and specific information on the location and type of works so that we can provide you with a an accurate response.

Some roads in the City are under the management of MRWA. Enquiries regarding these roads can be sent to: enquiries@mainroads.wa.gov.au.

Traffic management planners must have the knowledge, qualification, and experience to design traffic management schemes for the environment they will operate in.

Yes, any party responsible for organising an event that involves a change to the traffic environment to the extent that road users will be required to actively reduce their travel speed and/or direction of travel on the roadway or will be subject to additional traffic control and/or abnormally long queuing or delays, shall ensure that a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is prepared in accordance with the Main Roads WA (MRWA) Traffic Management for Events Code of Practice.

*Note: Events open to the public and/or held on City property, including roads and footpaths, must be reviewed and accepted by the City prior to the event. Please contact the City’s Events team on (08) 9405 5656 for more information.

Generally, a bike ride that is not a race and does not require traffic management will not require approval from the City of Wanneroo or the WA Police. However, a risk management approach should be taken for these types of activities. For example you should ensure all participants are aware they are required to follow all road rules - see Cycling Information on the Department of Transport website.

For very large group rides (e.g. over 100 people) you are advised to contact the City of Wanneroo for further advice.

*Note: Events open to the public and/or held on City property, including roads and footpaths, must be reviewed and accepted by the City prior to the event. Please contact the City’s Events team on (08) 9405 5656 for more information.

Some events may require a temporary suspension of traffic regulations. Section 139 of the Road Traffic (Administration) Act 2008 enables the Western Australia Police, under delegation from the Minister for Transport, to approve (subject to any conditions by gazettal) the temporary suspension of the provisions of the Road Traffic Act 1974 and/or Regulations for events involving specifically a race meeting or speed test.

The consent of the City of Wanneroo must first be obtained.

Such temporary suspension of laws can apply to an event subject to approval under the Road Traffic (Events on Roads) Regulations 1991, or independently of any other regulations.

For more information visit the Police WA website.

You may only use the same TMP multiple times in a 12-month period.

For routine/repetitive type works such as minor pavement maintenance, a generic TMP may be appropriate. The person preparing the TMP must refer to the Generic/Site Specific TMP Checklist below to assist in determining whether the traffic management setup can use a generic or site specific TMP, this is available on the Main Roads WA website.

If the answer is 'Yes' to any of the questions below, a more detailed TMP is required.

Templates for each type of TMP are available on the Main Roads WA website.
