Traffic Management Plan Cost
Traffic Management Plan Cost Australia
The cost of a Traffic Management Plan depends on several factors, including the complexity of the site, the turnaround time required and the state where the works are being carried out. This page explains what affects TMP pricing and what you should expect to receive for your money.
What Affects the Cost of a Traffic Management Plan?
TMP pricing is not one-size-fits-all. The main factors that determine the cost are:
Complexity of the site: A simple shoulder closure on a local road with a single layout requires significantly less work than a multi-stage arterial road project with night works, pedestrian management and multiple TGS diagrams. More complexity means more planning time and higher cost.
Number of TGS diagrams required: Each distinct work configuration requires its own Traffic Guidance Scheme layout. A job with three stages or three different road configurations will require three separate layouts, which affects cost accordingly.
Turnaround time: Standard turnaround at OnPoint TGS is 4 hours. If you need a document prepared outside business hours or on the same day as an emergency works call-out, this affects pricing.
State-specific requirements: Different road authorities have different submission formats, documentation requirements and approval processes. Familiarity with the local requirements affects how efficiently the document can be prepared.
Road type and speed zone: High-speed roads and arterial roads require more detailed risk assessment and device placement calculations, which adds time to preparation.
What is Included in a TMP from OnPoint TGS?
A TMP from OnPoint TGS includes:
Stakeholder notification plan
Planner sign-off with qualifications
Traffic Guidance Scheme drawings for each work configuration (scaled and AGTTM-compliant)
Site-specific risk assessment
Emergency management and incident response procedures
Traffic control device schedule
Revisions if required for council or road authority re-submission
What is Not Included
A Traffic Management Plan covers the planning and documentation work only. It does not include:
On-ground traffic control: The physical deployment of signs, cones, barriers and traffic controllers on site is a separate service provided by a traffic control company. This is an important distinction. OnPoint TGS is an independent planning business. We are not owned by or affiliated with a traffic control company, which means our planning documents are not used to lock clients into a specific controller.
WorkSafe compliance auditing: A TMP is not a substitute for an overall health and safety management plan. Your site safety obligations under the relevant state's WHS legislation are separate.
Council permit application fees: Road authority and council permit fees are charged by the authority directly and are not included in the TMP cost.
Why Independent Planning Costs Less Than You Might Expect
Many traffic management plans are sold as part of a bundled package by traffic control companies. In these arrangements, the plan is often priced low but used to direct the on-ground control work to the same company, at full margin. This is not how OnPoint TGS operates.
OnPoint TGS is an independent planning business. You receive a compliant document and are free to engage any traffic control company for the on-ground work. This keeps pricing transparent and competitive.
