Pedestrian & Crowd Management
Move thousands of people without a single incident
CATO Group plans and delivers pedestrian and crowd management for major events, film productions and construction sites across NSW and South East Queensland — including tailored pedestrian management plans, trained marshals and integration with traffic control and security operations. Part of our end-to-end traffic management services.
We moved 50,000 people through Sydney for WorldPride
A live pedestrian environment at scale is unforgiving. At the Sydney WorldPride March 2023, CATO coordinated with key stakeholders so 50,000 people entered, moved and exited safely.
The same discipline runs through every job — from a suburban street fair to a construction site next to a school.
What we handle
Everything the crowd plan touches
