Those in the Utilities sector must now complete the new Austroads Utilities Temporary Traffic Management Worker Accreditation Course. This of course is depending on the type of Traffic Management work you perform as more complex work may involve completing different courses.
This course has been approved and is recognised by the Department of Transport and Planning in Victoria.
Who is the Utilities Temporary Traffic Management Worker Accreditation Designed For?
The Utilities Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) Worker Accreditation course is designed for all workers employed directly or indirectly by a Utility organisation that provides basic public needs such as water, gas, electricity, communications.
Indirectly refers to companies who solely work to provide services to a provider of electricity, gas, water or communications.
In collaboration with all Utilities providers the content of this course was designed to meet the needs of essential infield utilities workers for the application of restricted Temporary Traffic Management practices.
It is important to note that Utilities will only be able to implement traffic management plans that are deemed Short-Term Low Impact (except in emergencies). If Utilities are required to lower speeds and use more complex set-ups then they would require the new TMI1 Course.

- Minimal Plant
- Frequently Changing Area
- Short duration, generally a few hours or no longer than one day
- Clear of Traffic
Works SHALL NOT have –
- Speed limit changes
