Quantum Traffic Directors provide Expert Evidence for VCAT (Presentations and Memorandum of Opinion) for a range of projects and disputes.

What is VCAT Expert Evidence?

A review by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) may be sought by a planning permit applicant against a Notice of Refusal, or undesired permit conditions within a Notice of Decision issued by a council.  Additionally, objectors can appeal against a council’s Notice of Decision.

Doing this effectively may require a professional opinion on the project’s traffic impact, parking impacts and on-site car parking design to be presented by a traffic engineering expert.  Quantum Traffic can help in achieving your desired outcome by providing professional traffic engineering evidence in person to the tribunal.

Why is VCAT Expert Evidence needed?

In order for urban spaces to function safely and efficiently for all users, potential impacts on traffic and parking must be thoroughly considered.

Such impacts are part and parcel of most development projects, and various procedures have been put in place by authorities to ensure that developers address these before permits can be issued.

Professional opinions are routinely put to use in this process, providing authorities with the supplementary information they require to accurately evaluate a development application. Working with a traffic engineer throughout your planning process will help ensure you meet all relevant traffic planning requirements, and position you to access to expert evidence in your favour, should this be required.

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.
