TMC road occupancy licence (ROL) permits

No ROL, no works — it's that simple.

If your project requires a Transport Management Centre (TMC) Road Occupancy Licence, Sightline manages the entire application process. An ROL is required for any works near a traffic light, or on a state or regional road — without it, works cannot proceed.

Delivering an ROL on time relies on more than paperwork — it takes coordination. We liaise directly with bus operators, the TMC, transport authorities, rail operators and every other relevant stakeholder to keep your project moving. Our established working relationships across these bodies mean faster response times and fewer delays when it matters most.

FAQ

Common questions

What is an ROL and when do I need one?

A Road Occupancy Licence is required for any works near a traffic light, or on a state or regional road. Without it, works cannot proceed.

Who issues ROL permits?

The Transport Management Centre processes ROL applications, coordinating with other relevant stakeholders depending on the site.

How long does an ROL take?

Timeframes vary by road classification and the stakeholders involved — our established relationships with the TMC and transport authorities help keep response times as fast as possible.

Do you handle stakeholder liaison, or do I need to coordinate it myself?

We manage it entirely — liaising with bus operators, the TMC, transport authorities, rail operators and any other relevant stakeholder so you don't have to coordinate each party separately.
