Traffic Management

Event-related traffic, both in the Exhibition Centre loading dock and public roads like Darling Drive, is managed by the Centre's Security department in order to minimise traffic risks that could affect the public, exhibitors, contractors, clients and key precinct stakeholders.   

By overseeing this process in-house the Centre is able to:

• Contol and manage the flow of vehicular traffic both in and out of the Centre,
• Communicate event conflicts to clients, NSW Police and the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA).
• Allow sufficient time to roster and implement traffic management plans prior to events.
• Provide qualified Centre security personnel to address the heavy traffic associated with events.

All Dock Traffic Controllers supplied by the Centre are licensed by the Roads and Traffic Authority to conduct traffic control.
