Developing Queensland's event traffic management guideline and event traffic marshal framework

This paper presents key learnings from recent projects undertaken by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads to provide additional tools to the traffic management industry to plan and manage the risks and costs associated with the management of public traffic around events. The guideline has recently been published by the Department as Technical Note 169. Concurrently, Austroads is in the midst of a project to develop the new Guide to Temporary Traffic Management Practice, and it is anticipated that the Event Traffic Management Design Guideline will form the basis of the Department’s input to the relevant part of the new Austroads guidelines. The guideline also aligns with recent State legislative changes and supporting procedures that permit authorised Event Traffic Marshals to undertake limited traffic control tasks in low risk environments associated with events.
