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 once an application is submitted or
• A minimum assessment time of 6 weeks for closures more than 4 weeks once an application is submitted
• 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.

If the TMP is submitted less than the required times as stated below it will be rejected by the City.

For low complexity works the City requires:

• A minimum assessment time of 10 working days once an application is submitted
• A Noise Management Plan if construction work is undertaken outside the hours of 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday.

For complex works and temporary thoroughfare closure/s the City requires:
