Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does my council require a TGS for a driveway crossover?
When you build or modify a driveway crossing on a public road, you are working within the council road reserve. Under the NSW Roads Act 1993, any work that affects a public road or footpath requires a Section 138 permit. Most councils will not issue that permit — or sign off on your DA conditions — without a certified Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) showing how pedestrians and traffic will be safely managed during the works.
Q: What is a Section 138 permit and when do I need one?
A Section 138 permit is a legal approval under the NSW Roads Act 1993 required whenever you carry out works within a public road reserve — including constructing a new driveway crossing, replacing a kerb, reinstating a footpath, or any excavation near a road. Your builder, concreter, or civil contractor will typically need this permit before they can start. The TGS plan is a mandatory part of the application.
Q: Do I need a traffic plan for a new home driveway?
Yes. Even a standard new home driveway crossing requires a TGS as part of the Section 138 application to council. This applies whether you are building a new house, subdividing land, or upgrading an existing crossing. Without the plan, your council will not issue the permit and your builder cannot legally commence the kerb and gutter works.
Q: How quickly can I get a driveway crossover TGS plan?
Standard driveway crossover plans are typically delivered within 24 hours. Same-day turnaround is available for urgent jobs. Because the service is 100% remote — using Google Earth site assessment and RapidPlan software — there are no delays waiting for a site visit.
Q: What is the difference between a TCP and a TGS?
TCP (Traffic Control Plan) is the older industry term. TGS (Traffic Guidance Scheme) is the current NSW terminology. They refer to the same document: a certified plan showing the placement of signs, barriers, and traffic management measures for a worksite on or near a public road.
