The Quantum Traffic team are specialists in undertaking LATM studies required by local councils to assist with the management of their road network and provide holistic solutions and recommendations.

What is a LATM Study?

Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) is the process of reviewing local street networks to identify existing issues and develop solutions.

LATM studies typically focus on engineering solutions (i.e. physical infrastructure), but also consider enforcement and education.

An LATM study seeks to engage the local community to identify issues and develop solutions for their own local area. This typically includes a public meeting to introduce the review to the local community and the formation of a community reference group to provide input at multiple stages of the project.

The key output of an LATM study is the preparation of Traffic Management Planning Reports in Sydney, Melbourne or Canberra local areas, which can include the staged implementation of recommended traffic management items.

When is a LATM Needed?

Town Planning Applications

As part of applying for a planning permit, whether for new development or change in use, you’ll likely need to submit a TIA to support your case. Having this prepared professionally will ensure that your application has the best possible chance of being approved without unnecessary delays.

RFI Responses

In the process of having your planning permit approved, you may receive a Request For Information from the relevant council. If you haven’t already done so, in order to have your application progressed, planning councils may require a Traffic Impact Assessment in Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane or Melbourne.

FAQ

What is a LATM Plan?

A Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Plan is developed to address persistent traffic and safety issues within a residential or neighbourhood area, often involving the community to find solutions.
