What's the difference between a TMP and a TGS?

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is the full document councils ask for: risk assessment, strategy, drawings, notifications, sign-off. A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is the drawings component that sits inside the TMP. Some councils and road authorities want the TGS as a standalone deliverable; others want the full TMP. If you're not sure which you need for your job, tick 'Not sure' on the form and we'll work it out from your site details.

Is the 4-hour turnaround actually 4 hours?

9 times out of 10 the plan is back in your inbox in under 4 hours during business hours, once we have the site information we need. The clock starts when you confirm the quote and send the details. Out-of-hours and complex multi-stage sites can take longer; we tell you that upfront in the quote.

Are your plans AGTTM-compliant?

Yes. Every plan is prepared to the current Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (AGTTM) standard. Our lead planner holds the national qualifications across all 3 road environments. Our team holds TMD2 (RIISS00064) and TMD3 (RIISS00065) where the job requires them.

How much does a TMP or TGS cost?

Pricing depends on the site, road environment, hours of work, and the complexity of the traffic control strategy. We don't quote off a list price; we quote off your actual site details, and the quote is fixed once accepted. Most standard urban TMPs come back at a price most contractors find lower than the bundled 'free TMP if you use our crew' alternatives, because we are only charging for the document, not loading on-ground hours into the price.

Do you handle the council submission?

Yes. Once the plan is signed off, we can submit it to the council or road authority on your behalf and manage any back-and-forth. Permit fees themselves are charged by the authority directly; we don't mark them up.

What if council asks for revisions?

We revise the plan at no extra cost. Councils frequently come back with small amendment requests; that's normal. Other providers charge for revisions. We don't.

Do you only cover Victoria?

Melbourne is our head office and the primary service area. We also prepare plans for projects in Tasmania, South Australia, and the Northern Territory. Use the form to tell us where the job is.

TMPTraffic Management Plan

Traffic Management Plans (TMP)

For council permits, road occupation, and works on or near the road reserve.

A Traffic Management Plan is the document councils, the Department of Transport, and road authorities ask for before they will let you work on or near a road. Without an AGTTM-compliant TMP signed off by a qualified planner, your permit application gets rejected on first review.

We include

Site-specific risk assessment
Traffic control strategy
Scaled AGTTM-compliant TGS drawings (one per work configuration)
Stakeholder and community notification plan
Emergency management and incident response procedures
Traffic control device schedule
Planner sign-off with full qualifications
Revisions for council re-submission (no extra cost)

TGSTraffic Guidance Scheme

Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS)

Scaled, site-specific diagrams that show exactly how the worksite is set up.

A Traffic Guidance Scheme is the drawing component that sits inside the TMP, but it's often the document councils and road authorities want to see on its own. We produce scaled TGS drawings that match the actual site, the actual hours of work, and the actual traffic conditions on the day. AGTTM-compliant by default.

We include

One TGS per distinct work configuration (day, night, lane closures, detours)
Scaled site plan with measurements
Traffic control device positions and types
Signage and warning placement
Worker safety zones and clearance distances
Pedestrian and cyclist routing
Detour signage where required

The unique sell

We sell plans. Not crews.

OnPoint TGS is an independent planning-only company. We are not a traffic control provider, and we are not owned by one.

Most companies offering "free" or cheap TMPs in Melbourne are traffic control crews looking to lock you into using their on-ground services at full margin. The plan is the bait. The crew is the bill.

We don't do that. We sell you the document. You pick whichever traffic control crew you want to deploy it (we'll happily recommend good ones).

That independence is why our plans match what councils actually need, not what makes the on-ground job easier for a particular crew. It's also why our pricing on the document itself is fixed, transparent, and predictable.

Senior lead planner with 20+ years' experience across all 3 road environments (Category 1, 2, and 3)
Team accredited to TMD2 (RIISS00064) for high-volume roads and TMD3 (RIISS00065) for motorways and freeways
50,000+ plans delivered across Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and the Northern Territory
