What Trafficworks does
Trafficworks Pty Ltd is a private Australian civil and traffic engineering consultancy founded in 2007 and headquartered in Ivanhoe, Victoria. It provides independent traffic planning, design and road-safety advisory services to state transport agencies, municipal councils, civil construction contractors and engineering consultancies. Its service portfolio spans traffic impact assessments, traffic management plans, traffic design for signals, lighting, signage and pavement markings, road safety audits, safe system assessments, transport planning, project development and technical training.
Trafficworks is a professional-services business rather than a software company. The input describes no proprietary software platform, API, mobile app, integrations or disclosed technology stack; delivery depends on credentialed engineers, designers and auditors. Reported scale and capability indicators include around 50 employees, over 25 Department of Transport and Planning-accredited Road Safety Auditors including 10 Senior Auditors, 21 Victorian Registered Engineers and 5 Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland members.
The company generates revenue through project-based consulting fees negotiated directly with government departments, councils and construction or engineering firms. Its go-to-market model is relationship- and procurement-led, anchored in Department of Transport and Planning prequalification, technical credentials, project references and training partnerships with ARRB and Road Solutions on behalf of the Department of Transport in Victoria. No public pricing, revenue, funding rounds, acquisitions or external ownership changes are disclosed.

Trafficworks competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Arup: Global engineering and design consultancy with a strong transport planning and traffic engineering practice in Australia. Comparable on road safety and active transport advisory but operates at significantly larger scale across buildings, energy, and resource sectors.
- Stantec Australia: Canadian-headquartered engineering consultancy with significant ANZ transport practice delivering traffic engineering, road safety, and transport planning on major road and rail projects. Competes for similar DTP-level engagements and contractor sub-consultant roles as Trafficworks.
- Aurecon: Global engineering, design and advisory firm with a substantial Australian transport practice delivering traffic engineering, transport planning, and road safety advisory on major infrastructure. Broader portfolio than Trafficworks (spans buildings, energy, defence) and typically engaged as prime consultant, with Trafficworks often serving as sub-consultant.
- Cardno (now part of Stantec): Australian-origin engineering consultancy (now under Stantec) delivering traffic and transport engineering, transport planning and road safety audits across ANZ. Historical direct competitor to specialist traffic consultancies like Trafficworks, with similar government and contractor client mix.
- SMEC: Australian-headquartered engineering consultancy delivering transport planning, traffic engineering and road safety services across major infrastructure programs. Overlaps with Trafficworks in road safety audits and traffic management on highway projects but operates at significantly greater scale and international footprint.
- Mott MacDonald: Global engineering consultancy with an Australian transport practice spanning traffic engineering, road safety, and transport planning on major highway and rail infrastructure. Comparable at the project-level engagement lens but operates globally across multiple sectors.
- Beca Group: Large Australasian engineering and advisory consultancy with a transport and infrastructure practice delivering traffic engineering, road safety, and transport planning services. Overlaps with Trafficworks on state infrastructure projects but operates across multiple engineering disciplines including water, buildings, and industrial sectors.
Direct peers
- Ratio Consultants: Melbourne-based traffic, transport and parking engineering consultancy. Direct competitor in Victoria offering traffic impact assessments, car parking studies, traffic management and transport planning for councils and developers — overlapping service portfolio and customer base with Trafficworks.
- GTA Consultants: Australian specialist transport planning, traffic engineering and town planning consultancy. Directly comparable to Trafficworks in services (traffic impact assessments, transport planning, expert witness) and target clients (state government, councils, developers), though somewhat larger and more diversified across transport economics and urban planning.
Emerging players
- SLR Consulting: Global environmental and advisory consultancy expanding into transport planning and traffic engineering in Australia. Less specialised than Trafficworks in DTP-prequalified road safety audit delivery but emerging as a competitor on multi-disciplinary infrastructure advisory work.
