Traffic engineering and transport planning in Queensland
Discuss your project in Brisbane, South East Queensland, Townsville, Cairns or Mackay. The required registration or direct supervision is confirmed before an engagement proceeds.
Service-region statement
Servicing Victoria and Queensland. Queensland engagements are subject to confirming the required registration or direct supervision before work begins. We serve development, resources and government clients across Queensland — Brisbane and South East Queensland, Townsville, Cairns, Mackay and the surrounding regions — with the same senior judgement and clear communication we bring to our Victorian work, delivered through a considered remote-working model rather than a local shopfront.
Regulatory and authority context
Queensland's transport framework differs from Victoria's in ways that matter to how work is prepared:
Development applications, not planning permits
Queensland development is assessed as a development application (DA) under the Queensland planning framework, typically by the local council. The terminology and process differ from Victoria's planning-permit system, and our reports are prepared to the Queensland process.
State-controlled roads and TMR
Where a development affects a state-controlled road, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is involved. TMR's Guide to Traffic Impact Assessment is the reference standard for traffic impact assessments on the state-controlled network, and a common trigger is where a development adds materially (broadly, more than around 5%) to critical movements on a state-controlled road (verified 2026-07-31).
RPEQ — Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland
Queensland requires professional engineering services in or for Queensland to be provided by, or under the direct supervision of, a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) (Professional Engineers Act 2002 (Qld)), and TIAs on the state-controlled network are expected to be certified by an RPEQ. This is a genuine credential filter Queensland clients rightly apply. Before accepting Queensland professional engineering work, we must confirm an appropriately registered RPEQ or a lawful direct-supervision arrangement for the scope.
Sub-regions served
Brisbane & South East Queensland
Development, government and infrastructure transport work across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.
Townsville region
Development, industrial, defence-adjacent and resources-related transport work across the Townsville area.
Cairns region

Mackay region
Resources, heavy-vehicle and haulage work, and development transport across the Mackay and broader region.
Services available in Queensland
We welcome enquiries about heavy-vehicle assessments, haulage management plans, swept-path analysis, access design, traffic impact assessments and road safety audits. Availability depends on the project scope and confirmation of the required engineering registration and capability.

How delivery works
We scope Queensland work for remote delivery where appropriate and confirm any site inspections or local data needed. Before work begins, the engagement must identify the responsible engineer, the required RPEQ registration or lawful direct-supervision arrangement, and the agreed deliverables. Arcvia does not maintain a staffed Queensland office.
