How long does Hume City take to assess a road-reserve consent?
Allow up to 20 business days. Hume City's Consent to Work within a Road Reserve form states the assessment “may take up to 20 business days after payment has been received by Council”, and once issued, works must be completed within 60 days. Your Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is part of that consent — Hume's form has a dedicated TMP section for any work in the road or road reserve, describing the Traffic Guidance Scheme to be put in place.
So the clock only starts once payment lands, and a complex job runs to the full 20 business days — which makes an early, correct plan the difference between hitting your start date and missing it. The TMP and its supporting Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) need to be drawn to AS 1742.3 and the Road Management Act 2004. Get it wrong and the assessment resets. MK builds your Hume TMP to lodge cleanly the first time, in the terminology Hume's assessors expect.
Hume's three approval paths — and who signs off
“TMP approval” in Hume isn't one stamp. Which path you're on decides your timeframe, so order the right document for the right authority.
| Path | What it covers | Who approves & timing |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic Management Plan (TMP) | The overarching plan for the works — staging, access, pedestrian safety and the Traffic Guidance Scheme for each work zone. Required by Hume's form for any work in the road or road reserve. | Assessed as part of your Consent to Work within a Road Reserve. Must be prepared by a traffic consultant to be accepted. |
| Consent to Work within a Road Reserve (local road) | Working within a Council-managed road, nature strip or footpath — service connections, crossovers, lane and reserve occupation. | Hume City under the Road Management Act 2004, lodged by email. Assessment may take up to 20 business days after payment; works completed within 60 days. |
| DoT Victoria consent (arterial / freeway) | Works affecting a State-declared arterial or freeway — the Hume Freeway, Tullamarine Freeway, Calder Freeway, M80 Ring Road, Craigieburn Road or Mickleham Road. | Department of Transport and Planning (DoT Victoria, formerly VicRoads) via a separate consent — not Council. |
Not sure which path your site is on? Send us the address and your permit or planning conditions — we'll confirm whether it's a Hume consent or a DoT Victoria consent, at no cost.
TMP, CTMP or CMP — which one does my Hume project need?
Quick answer: in Victoria the road document is a TMP. “CTMP” is the New South Wales name for the same thing, and a CMP is a separate planning-permit document.
If your works are in Hume, you need a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) — not a CTMP. “CTMP” (Construction Traffic Management Plan) and the phrase “construction traffic management plan” are New South Wales terms; Victoria prepares a TMP under the Road Management Act 2004 and AS 1742.3. A Construction Management Plan (CMP) is a different document again — a broader site-management plan often conditioned on a planning permit, and it doesn't replace the TMP that lets you occupy the road.
| Document | What it is | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic Management Plan (TMP) | The Victorian road-works document — staging, road occupation, pedestrian safety and the TGS for each work zone, to AS 1742.3 and the Road Management Act 2004. | Whenever you occupy or work in the road reserve. Goes with Hume's Consent to Work within a Road Reserve. |
| Construction Management Plan (CMP) | A broader site-management plan — construction hours, deliveries, parking, amenity and neighbour impacts. May reference traffic but isn't the road-occupation approval. | Often a condition of your planning permit. Separate from the TMP, and sometimes required as well. |
| CTMP (a NSW term) | The New South Wales name for a construction traffic management plan. Victoria doesn't use it. | Never in Victoria. If a head office or interstate consultant asks for a “CTMP” on a Hume site, that's your TMP. |
Send us your permit or planning conditions and we'll tell you exactly which documents your Hume project needs — the TMP, and whether a CMP is conditioned too — at no cost.
When Hume requires a Traffic Management Plan
Hume requires a TMP on most works that affect a road, footpath or reserve, or that generate construction traffic. Common triggers across the LGA:
- Consent to Work within a Road Reserve for service and civil works
- Residential, commercial and industrial builds affecting a Council road
- Multi-lot subdivisions across Craigieburn, Mickleham and Kalkallo
- Loading and unloading on a Council road or nature strip
- Lane or footpath closures requiring pedestrian detours
- Crane lifts and concrete pumping over a public road
- Works on or near State arterials and freeways (DoT Victoria consent)
- Freight and industrial works around Campbellfield and the airport precinct
- Utility works (water, gas, NBN, power) within the road reserve
- New estate roads and subdivisional works in the northern growth corridor

What's in a Hume-ready TMP from MK
A TMP is a full technical document, not a sign diagram. Every plan we prepare for a Hume site includes:
- Construction staging & sequencingHow traffic, deliveries and works phase across the build to keep Hume's road network moving.
- Site access & haulage routesIngress, egress and heavy-vehicle routes mapped to suit Hume's road hierarchy, freight routes and airport precinct.
- Road occupation & loading layoutOn-street loading set out for a Consent to Work within a Road Reserve where the site can't take deliveries internally.
- Pedestrian & cyclist managementFootpath closures, detours and shared-path diversions drawn to AS 1742.3.
- Supporting Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS)Site-specific TGS for each work zone as the build hits the road.
- Risk assessmentHazards identified for the actual streets — not a generic template.
- Road Management Act 2004 framingPrepared to the Victorian framework Hume assesses against, with the terminology its officers expect.
- Lodgement-ready formatStructured to attach to Hume's Consent to Work within a Road Reserve application.

Hume TMP FAQs
Direct answers to what Hume builders, developers and project managers ask us most.
How long does Hume City take to assess a road-reserve consent?
Allow up to 20 business days. Hume City's Consent to Work within a Road Reserve form states the assessment may take up to 20 business days after payment has been received by Council, and works must be completed within 60 days of the permit being issued. The clock starts on payment, so an early, correct lodgement protects your program.
Do I need a TMP or a TGS for my Hume works?
Usually both. Hume's consent form has a dedicated Traffic Management Plan (TMP) section required for any work in the road or road reserve, describing the Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) you'll put in place. The TMP is the overarching document; the TGS is the site-specific diagram for each work zone. We supply the TMP with its supporting TGS ready to lodge.
Do I lodge with Hume City or DoT Victoria?
It depends who manages the road. Works on local roads go to Hume City under the Road Management Act 2004, lodged by email with the consent form. Works affecting a State arterial or freeway — the Hume Freeway, Tullamarine Freeway, Calder Freeway or M80 Ring Road — need a separate consent from DoT Victoria. We confirm the right authority for your site.
How much does a TMP cost for a Hume project?
A standard residential TMP for a Hume site costs between $1,500 and $2,500. Commercial and multi-stage projects range from $2,500 to $5,000, and major airport-precinct, freight or growth-estate projects sit above $5,000. Pricing depends on staging, traffic volume and pedestrian impacts. Council and permit fees are separate. Send a written competitor quote and we'll beat it by 10%.
What does Hume's Consent to Work within a Road Reserve require?
The consent covers works within a Council-managed road reserve and is assessed under the Road Management Act 2004. You'll generally need the completed consent form, a Traffic Management Plan for any road or reserve works, and payment — the assessment may take up to 20 business days after payment, and works must be completed within 60 days of issue.
Who can prepare a TMP in Victoria?
A compliant TMP and its supporting Traffic Guidance Schemes should be prepared by a suitably qualified traffic consultant, working to AS 1742.3 and the Road Management Act 2004. Hume's consent form expects the TMP and its Traffic Guidance Scheme to be described in detail, which is exactly what a competent consultant provides — and what MK does.
How fast can MK deliver a Hume TMP?
Most TMPs are turned around within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your site details, well inside Council's own assessment window. Standard supporting TGS ordered before 11am can be same-day. Because Hume's clock only starts on payment and can run to 20 business days, getting a clean plan early is what protects your program.
Can you prepare a Hume TMP if you're based in NSW?
Yes. MK is a NSW-based firm preparing Victorian-compliant TMPs remotely, drawn to AS 1742.3 and the Road Management Act 2004 in the terminology Hume's assessors expect. We work from your site address, plans and permit conditions — from Broadmeadows and Craigieburn to the airport precinct and Sunbury.
Is it a TMP or a CTMP in Hume?
In Hume — and everywhere in Victoria — it's a TMP (Traffic Management Plan). “CTMP” (Construction Traffic Management Plan) is the New South Wales term for the same road document; Victoria works to a TMP under the Road Management Act 2004 and AS 1742.3. If an interstate head office asks for a “CTMP”, on a Hume site that's your TMP. A Construction Management Plan (CMP) is a separate planning-permit document and doesn't replace it.
TMPs for other Victorian councils
We prepare Traffic Management Plans formatted to each council's road-occupation pathway and the Road Management Act 2004. Other Victorian councils we cover:
Need a different document?
A TMP covers your whole project. For a single work zone, you'll likely need a Traffic Guidance Scheme.
