CATO Group is proud to announce our expansion into South East Queensland (SEQ), delivering expert Traffic Control and Traffic Management services across the construction, film, and event industries.
An Integrated Crowd Traffic Management Plan (ICTMP) is a comprehensive strategy that combines traffic control and crowd management to ensure the safe and efficient movement of vehicles and people at events, construction sites, or film productions. Unlike standard traffic control plans, an ICTMP recognises that vehicle traffic and pedestrian flows are interconnected and must be managed together.
In New South Wales, events that impact local roads or traffic are classified by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) into four categories. These NSW event classifications determine the level of planning, permits, and traffic management required. Whether you are organising a major city festival, a community parade, or a local film shoot, knowing your event’s classification is essential to securing approvals and ensuring safe road use.
