Traffic Control for Construction — Queensland & Gladstone
Construction Traffic Control That Keeps Your Site Safe and on Schedule
Construction sites are high-risk environments — and effective traffic control is not optional. Whether you are managing a small civil works project or a major infrastructure build across Queensland, getting traffic management right protects your workers, the public, and your project timeline.
Matai Protective Services provides certified traffic controllers and comprehensive traffic management solutions for construction sites throughout Queensland, including Gladstone and the Central Queensland region. Our controllers are trained, experienced professionals who understand the demands of live worksites — and who know how to manage vehicles, plant, and pedestrians safely and efficiently, without slowing the job down.
Every traffic control setup we deliver is fully compliant with WorkSafe Queensland requirements, the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and all applicable Australian Standards. From the initial planning stage through to site pack-up, Matai is your reliable, accountable traffic management partner.
What Our Construction Traffic Control Service Includes
Certified Traffic Controllers
All Matai traffic controllers hold current Queensland certification and are experienced in managing live construction environments. They direct vehicles and pedestrians safely, enforce site traffic protocols, and respond quickly to changing conditions — keeping your worksite safe from first shift to last.
Lane Closures & Pedestrian Control
We plan and implement lane closures, pedestrian diversions, and shared-zone management that meet legal standards and minimise disruption. Our setups are designed to maintain safe vehicle and foot traffic flow throughout the duration of your project.
Approved Signage & Equipment
Matai supplies all required traffic control signage, cones, barriers, delineators, stop/slow bats, and lighting for night works. Every piece of equipment meets the applicable Australian Standard, and our setups are installed efficiently to avoid delaying your crew.
WorkSafe QLD & MUTCD Compliance
We ensure every traffic control setup fully complies with WorkSafe Queensland regulations and the MUTCD. Our controllers are briefed on permit conditions before every shift — protecting you from fines, stoppages, and liability.

Matai liaises directly with local councils, Queensland Transport and Main Roads, and other authorities on your behalf — managing permit applications, compliance documentation, and approval processes so your project stays on track.

We are with you from the initial traffic management plan through to the final removal of equipment. Our end-to-end support means nothing gets overlooked and every transition — setup, operation, pack-up — is handled professionally.
