The traffic management crew behind Sydney's biggest nights.
New Year's Eve on the Harbour. The Sydney Marathon. Mad Max on the Bridge. For over a decade, CATO has closed roads, moved crowds and kept sites safe for Australia's biggest builders, councils and film studios. Now it's your job's turn.
Trusted by the councils, contractors and studios that can't afford a bad day.
One rejected permit can stall your whole project.
You know the drill. The council wants a Traffic Management Plan. TfNSW wants a Road Occupancy Licence. Your builder wants the lane closed Monday. And the traffic company you called still hasn't sent a quote.
Every day you wait, your crew stands around and your program slips. Traffic management isn't the biggest line in your budget — but when it's wrong, it's the reason everything else stops.
CATO exists so that never happens to you.
The Process
How we get you on the road faster
- 01
Tell us the job.
Two-minute rate card request or one phone call. A real coordinator — not a call centre — calls you back the same business day.
- 02
We handle the paperwork.
TMPs, TGSs, ROLs, council permits. We've held relationships with NSW councils and TfNSW for over a decade, and we're pre-approved for Local Government Procurement in NSW and SEQ. We know exactly what each council wants to see — so plans get approved, not bounced.
- 03

Case study
New Year's Eve, Sydney. One million people. Zero room for error.
Every NYE since 2017, CATO has run traffic and hostile vehicle mitigation across City of Sydney and North Sydney — closures, crowd movement, agency coordination, all executed while the world watches. If we can do that, your lane closure is in safe hands.
