Traffic Management
Traffic management services that keep your job moving
CATO Group provides end-to-end traffic management services across Sydney, NSW and South East Queensland — licensed traffic control, traffic management plans (TMPs), traffic guidance schemes (TGS), road occupancy licences, council permits, pedestrian management and hostile vehicle mitigation for construction, events and film production. Established 2011.
Traffic management is the cheapest thing on your budget — until it fails
A late permit stalls the pour. An under-crewed closure gets shut down by council. A bad TGS gets rejected and you lose your road occupancy window. The cost is never the traffic company's invoice — it's your crew standing idle and your program slipping a week.
That's why the biggest names in construction, events and film don't shop on price alone. They hire the crew that's never the reason a job stops.
