Certified Traffic Controllers
Our traffic controllers hold TC and TMI accreditations under Queensland's Traffic Controller Accreditation Scheme. TC-accredited controllers manage live vehicle and pedestrian movements on site. TMI-accredited controllers are responsible for setting up, managing, and removing all physical traffic control devices in line with the approved Traffic Guidance Scheme. Get Directed supplies both roles across projects of all sizes on the Gold Coast and greater South East Queensland.
Equipped Traffic Control Vehicles
Get Directed operates its own fleet of fully equipped traffic control vehicles. Our vehicles are stocked and ready, which means faster deployment and no last-minute equipment gaps on your site.
Traffic Management Plans
Queensland requires a Traffic Management Plan for most works carried out on or adjacent to a public road. Get Directed prepares site-specific TMPs covering lane configurations, signage placement, speed zone requirements, and pedestrian provisions, all in accordance with the TMR Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Traffic Guidance Schemes
A Traffic Guidance Scheme provides the visual layout of all traffic control measures on your worksite, including sign positions, device placements, and lane arrangements. Get Directed prepares compliant TGS drawings across all project types and coordinates with permit authorities as part of the process.
Council and Main Roads Permit Applications
Permit applications to Gold Coast City Council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads require precise documentation and correct submission. Errors or incomplete applications add days or weeks to your project timeline. Get Directed prepares and submits permit applications on your behalf and follows up with authorities to keep approvals progressing.
Queensland Police Permits
Some projects on the Gold Coast require a separate permit from Queensland Police before works can proceed. Road closures on high-volume roads, major public events, and projects that affect traffic flow across multiple intersections typically fall into this category. Missing a police permit when one is required can result in a stop-work order on the day. Get Directed identifies whether your project needs a Queensland Police permit and manages the application alongside your other approvals.
Traffic Counting and Data Collection
Get Directed provides traffic volume and classification counting services across the Gold Coast and South East Queensland. Accurate traffic data supports development applications, infrastructure planning, and site access assessments for both government and private sector projects.
Worksite Risk Management and Safety
Every project begins with a site-specific risk assessment. Get Directed identifies hazards, documents control measures, and ensures all traffic management activities meet Queensland workplace health and safety requirements, covering both workers on site and road users passing through.
Contractors on the Gold Coast Choose Get Directed Because the Job Gets Done
Late controllers, rejected permit applications, and TGS drawings that do not match site conditions are the most common reasons traffic management causes project delays on the Gold Coast. Get Directed has built its reputation on showing up, getting the paperwork right, and communicating clearly when something needs attention.
Our clients include civil construction contractors, utility providers, council project teams, commercial builders, property developers, and event organisers. Many have worked with us across multiple projects because reliable traffic management is not something they want to renegotiate on every job.
If you have been told you need a TMP, a road occupancy licence, or a traffic controller on site, contact our team and we will confirm exactly what your project requires and get the process started."
Local to the Gold Coast, Available When You Need Us
Get Directed is headquartered in Ashmore and operates across the Gold Coast road network every day. Our team knows the permit requirements at Gold Coast City Council, the traffic conditions on key arterials, and the practical demands of working in coastal and urban environments where road access is tight and schedules are unforgiving.
We have delivered traffic management across the Coomera and Pimpama growth corridors, busy arterials through Southport and Nerang, and high-footfall areas in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. When you book with Get Directed, you are working with a team that already knows your patch.
One Call Covers the Whole Job
Many contractors manage their TMP, permit applications, and controller bookings through separate providers. That means three sets of communication, three sets of delays, and three places for something to go wrong.
Get Directed handles all of it. Our team prepares the TMP, produces the TGS drawings, submits the permit applications, follows up with council or TMR, and puts the right controllers on site with the right equipment. One team, one point of contact for the duration of your project.

Common Questions About Traffic Control on the Gold Coast
What is the difference between a Traffic Controller and a Traffic Management Implementer?
A Traffic Controller uses a stop/slow bat to direct vehicles and pedestrians through a worksite. A Traffic Management Implementer sets up and removes the physical devices on site, including signs, cones, and barriers, in accordance with the approved Traffic Guidance Scheme. Most active worksites require both qualifications. Get Directed supplies controllers holding TC and TMI accreditations under Queensland's Traffic Controller Accreditation Scheme.
Do I need a Traffic Management Plan for my project?
In Queensland, a TMP is required for most works on or adjacent to a public road. This covers construction sites, utility works, road maintenance, and commercial projects where the road or footpath is affected. Contact our team with your project details and we will confirm what is required.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For standard projects, a few days notice is generally workable for getting controllers on site. Permit applications take longer, and the earlier they are submitted the better. Contact us as soon as your project scope is confirmed and we will advise on realistic timeframes for your location and project type.
Do you work after hours and on weekends?
Yes. Many road works and utility projects are scheduled outside peak traffic hours. Contact us to discuss your project schedule and we will confirm availability.
How long does a Gold Coast council permit take to get approved?
Timeframes depend on the authority and the complexity of the works. Standard applications can be processed within a few days. Projects involving closures on major arterials or state-controlled roads generally take longer. Get Directed submits promptly and follows up throughout the process.
What Gold Coast suburbs do you cover?
We cover all Gold Coast suburbs including Southport, Surfers Paradise, Burleigh Heads, Robina, Coomera, Broadbeach, Ashmore, Pimpama, Nerang, and surrounding areas, as well as Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, and Tweed Heads.
