    TMAA and CCF Tasmania recently launched last week a new road safety awareness campaign in Tasmania focused on the message 'Your Speed is Our Safety'. The campaign kickoff event included an interview with Nicole Willing, TMAA's State Chair for Tasmania, on Channel 7 news.

    During the interview, Nicole highlighted the concerning number of near misses that occur daily on construction sites. "Every day on our worksites, we experience close calls and near misses between vehicles and our workers," Nicole said. "Speeding traffic poses a huge safety risk to our staff as they work to improve Tasmania's roads and infrastructure."

    The 'Your Speed is Our Safety' campaign aims to remind motorists to slow down in construction zones. By being more alert and reducing speed around worksites, drivers can help prevent accidents and injuries. Nicole emphasized that road safety is a shared responsibility: "We're urging all motorists to make worker safety their priority and slow down on the roads."

    It has been a busy few months. Transport for NSW teams have been developing updates to the Design of Roads and Streets manual which we will be seeking feedback on later this year. Read on to see how you can provide feedback on v0.1 of the manual, currently on our website.

    We have also been scheduling new dates and locations for the popular NSW Movement and Place Framework training course. Some of these training sessions will be in regional areas to provide this valuable training to practitioners outside the Sydney metro area. Check out the details below.

    The Design of Roads and Streets Manual feedback 

    The Design of Roads and Streets manual v0.1 is available on the Movement and Place website. We previously presented webinars introducing the new guidance to practitioners within local and state government agencies as well as peak industry bodies. This practical 'how to' manual has been adopted as a Transport for NSW standard. It aims to improve our design of roads and streets by filling a gap in guidance and supporting other more general design resources such as Austroads Guides, Australian Standards, and Global Street Design Guides.  

    Now, we would like to hear from you. What are your thoughts on the content? Do you have insights or examples to share? Please complete this short survey to help us improve this important design manual.  

    We are currently working toward v1 of the manual and will be seeking more feedback, so keep an eye out for webinars and workshops later in 2023 and 2024 with more opportunities to get involved. If you have questions, please get in touch with the team. 

    NSW Movement and Place Framework training course update 

    The popular NSW Movement and Place Framework training course facilitated by the University of Technology Sydney has announced new dates and locations. 

    The one-day workshop takes the theory of the framework presented in the eLearning modules and develops practical skills to apply the principles on a local street. The workshop is a great opportunity to collaborate and network with peers and colleagues across the industry. 

    Here are the upcoming dates and locations. Space is limited, so register today.

    10 August | Milsons Point
    24 August | Parkes 
    8 September | Sydney CBD
    21 September | Wagga Wagga
    5 October | Wollongong

    Traffic Management Reform Program

    August 2023 Newsletter

    Welcome to our August newsletter for the Traffic Management Reform (TMR) program.

    The TMR program is transforming the traffic management industry by providing the extra support needed to promote safety on the road network and reduce unnecessary congestion and delays around worksites.

    This is our regular newsletter to keep the traffic management industry up-to-date with the progress and changes coming as part of the TMR program. Please share it with anyone else you think should know about this program and its upcoming changes. 
     
    Key updates:

    • New traffic management training – progress update
    • Accreditation program - reminder
    • MoA Charging starts in October
    • Key TMR program dates 
    • Get in touch  

    New traffic management training – progress update

    DTP is updating the current traffic management training model to align with the requirements in the new Code of Practice.

    At the moment, this work is focused on supporting Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) with becoming Approved Training Providers (ATP):

    • Train the trainer program
      New dates in September have been added to the Train the Trainer program. Please enrol by visiting the Austroads website or email ttmoperations@austroads.com.au for more information.
    • ATP process
      The finalised ATP process has been published on the VicRoads website, including the application form and a summary factsheet. If you have any questions, please email ATPapplications@roads.vic.gov.au.
    • RTO industry session
      The August industry briefing will be a Q&A session on the ATP application process. It will be held online on Wednesday 23 August from 10 to 11.30am. Please email tmr.support@transport.vic.gov.au by Monday 21 August to RSVP and receive the meeting link.

    Please download the ATP application form ahead of the session and send in any specific questions by Monday 14 August so we can include information in the presentation.
     

    Accreditation program - reminder

    Reminder: if your company still needs to provide extra information to progress your Accreditation application, please send through any further required documentation as soon as you can.

    Please note our list of accredited companies is updated as applications are processed and publicly available.

    If you have any questions or need further information, please email TMAccreditation@roads.vic.gov.au.
     

    MoA Charging starts in October

    The new fee to process Memorandum of Authorisation (MoA) permit applications starts in October 2023.

    The fee will be paid upfront when you submit your MoA permit applications in RAPP. The amount charged is based on three categories of disruptions and time needed to review the proposed traffic management activities and measures to maintain safety and reduce road congestion.

    Ahead of the introduction of MoA Charging, DTP created the Road Access Permits Portal (RAPP) to better support industry and make it easier to apply for MoA permits. We are also looking at other opportunities to improve permit review processes, including adding extra features to RAPP.

    For more information about MoA permits, including the fee amounts, visit the MoA permits webpage on the VicRoads website.
