Construction Traffic Management Plans (CTMP)
A CTMP is required for certain types of development to ensure that traffic is safely managed during the demolition, excavation, and construction phases of the project.
It is reviewed by the consent authority (usually the local council) and approved with conditions. Most of these conditions are standard.
CTMPs are not complex documents. They present your plan of how you propose to manage materials delivered to or removed from your building site whilst maintaining safety for workers on the site and surrounding residents.
CTMPs may include Traffic Control Plans / Traffic Guidance Schemes showing how traffic is to be managed.
A hardcopy of your CTMP and the CTMP approval should be kept on site. An individual on site should be assigned the task of ensuring it is complied with.
Non-compliance with the CTMP may result in an infringement for a breach of the consent. The fines are significant.
