The City of Swan is obliged to promote safe and consistent traffic management practice on roads in accordance with state legislation and national standards. Road works and community events can create potential hazards leading to injury and/or damage, if reasonable care is not taken to protect both road users and road workers.
All road works and events that may impact traffic on local roads require a traffic management plan to be submitted for authorisation by the City of Swan. Traffic Management Plans must be prepared and implemented by appropriately accredited personnel. Where applicable an assessment fee will apply. You can view the City's Traffic Management Guidelines(PDF, 1MB) online or by visiting the City of Swan Administration building and requesting a printed copy. The City values the safety of our road users and encourages all agencies to ensure their traffic management is compliant with the relevant standards, codes of practice and guidelines at all times. Download our Top 10 Do's and Don'ts of Traffic Management guide(PDF, 2MB) for more information. You might like to print it out to take to a job to ensure compliant traffic management.
Traffic Management Plans can be submitted online, by mail or in person at the City of Swan Administration Building using the completed application for the approval of traffic management for roadworks form(PDF, 95KB).
If you require traffic management approval as part of an event this will be assessed in your event application.
Should you have any queries please direct them to the Traffic Management Officer : Phone 9267 9287.
