Works in a Thoroughfare and Traffic Management Plan

Works in a Thoroughfare

Thoroughfares include but are not limited to, roads, footpaths and public access ways within the road reserve which are under the management or control of the City of Gosnells.

Anyone who wishes to complete works within the City's thoroughfares must submit an online application using the link below and follow the requirements set by the City. 

Please note:

• Fees may apply with the application which must be paid before receiving the endorsement.
• Following the approval process, the City may set specific conditions that need to be followed.  

Temporary Thoroughfare Closures

To close a thoroughfare, an online application must be submitted. This closure can be either a whole or partial temporary closure. 

Applications are required for all proposed works that will exceed 4 continuous hours and cause a hindrance to road users – including motorists, pedestrians, people with disabilities and cyclists – or result in delays of longer than 15 minutes to the road user.

The City requires:

• A minimum assessment time of 3 weeks for closures less than 4 weeks following payment of TMP application fee; or
• A minimum assessment time of 6 weeks for closures more than 4 weeks following payment of TMP application fee.
• A Noise Management Plan if construction work is undertaken outside the hours of 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday.

Please also refer to the relevant Information sheet ‘Conditions for Construction Works in a Thoroughfare’ and be aware that a traffic management plan assessment may be required.

Traffic Management Plan

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) must be submitted via the online application form to the City before works commence. To allow for sufficient time to carry out assessment, authorisation, and any required notification before implementation, the below timeframe requirements should be considered when planning the commencement date/s for your works. Should your application not meet these requirements it will be rejected by the City.

For low complexity works:

• A minimum of 10 working days is required for assessment following payment of TMP application fee.

For complex works and/or temporary thoroughfare closure/s (closures can be either a whole or partial temporary closure):

• For closures less than 4 weeks a minimum of 3 weeks is required for assessment following payment of TMP application fee; or
• For closures more than 4 weeks a minimum of 6 weeks is required for assessment following payment of TMP application fee.

Noise Management Plan

• A Noise Management Plan is required to be submitted and approved by the City’s Health Services if construction work is to be undertaken outside the hours of 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday.
• The Noise Management Plan must be submitted by email to governanceadmin@gosnells.wa.gov.au a minimum of 10 working days prior to the commencement of works for low complexity works or 3-6 weeks for complex works as stated above.
