2020-LONO request form

This form is used to apply for a letter of no objection (LONO) when a special event/intended works requires a temporary change to traffic conditions, including:

full or partial road closure
redirection of traffic
changes to posted speed limits
use of traffic controllers
full or partial closure of a footpath
redirection of pedestrians
blocking off car parks.

This application is for the assessment of the traffic impact only.

Special events/intended works

A special event/intended works is a planned activity that is wholly or partly conducted on a roadway or footpath, usually including large numbers of people. It will require a traffic management plan provided by a Transport and Main Road (TMR) registered traffic management company to ensure the event/activity is conducted safely. It may also require multiple agency approval from Council, Queensland Police Service (QPS) and TMR for the roads that will be impacted by the event/intended works. Council will advise which of these will be required during the application process.

Assessment information

As part of the assessment, Council examines the effect on the community, businesses and the environment. It is important to minimise the impact of the event/intended works on the operation of the road network and on local residents and businesses. Council may refuse an application if the temporary change of traffic conditions will cause major disruption to the road network, or local residents and businesses.

NOTE

Allow at least 30 days for processing. Some activities may require additional information to be provided, e.g. drafts of the proposed communication methods:

public notice (e.g. newspaper advertisement)
letter to residents/businesses advising of the change of traffic conditions
corflute signs and/or variable message signs notifying the public of the road closures to be placed at specific locations.

Traffic management plan

All proposals for temporary changes of traffic conditions must be supported by a traffic management plan. Additionally, all road closures must be carried out in acccordance with the Manual of Uniform Trafffic Control Devices (MUTCD). To ensure this, your traffic management plan must be completed by a TMR registered traffic management company.

The traffic management plan must include traffic guidance schemes, detailing the traffic control devices to be implemented.

QPS Road closure permit

You must obtain a road closure permit from the Queensland Police Service a minimum of two weeks before the event.

certificate of currency of public liability insurance
traffic management plan
letter of no objection issued by Council (this request)
road corridor permit issued by TMR (if applicable).

To obtain a road closure permit application form, contact the local police station in the area of the event. A special event permit may also be required, depending on the specifics of the event. QPS will advise if this is needed.

Other approvals

There may be additional approvals required for your event/intended activity.
