What does the legislation say?
The Australian Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (AGTTM) defines a TMP as follows:
TTM generally requires proponents to provide a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) that integrates an activity into the operation of the road network. The plan assesses an activity’s impact on traffic flow and describes the activities being proposed, their impact on the general area (including public transport passengers, cyclists, pedestrians, motorists and commercial operations), and how these impacts are being addressed.
