Organisers

Organisation of a rally takes months of planning and liaison with various external organisations such as Motorsport Australia, Forestry bodies, local councils and state road authorities (Vic Roads), and emergency services (Police, Fire and Ambulance). Requirements are outlined in the Victorian Rally Bulletin Part B in relation to organisational planning requirements, procedures for special conditions, the minimum requirements for all road events as well as special conditions that may apply depending on the type of rally you are running.

This is the link for the  Traffic Management Plan  template.

More useful information and requirements are also available below.
