Point8

Point8 is an Australian traffic engineering and transport planning consultancy headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland. Established in 2011, the independently owned practice provides advisory, analytical and design services to public and private clients across Australia. Its multidisciplinary team includes transport planners, traffic engineers, road safety auditors and transport analysts.

The consultancy works across the infrastructure lifecycle, from early site feasibility and planning applications through to detailed design, operational assessments and construction-stage traffic management. Its clients include state road authorities, local governments, civil construction contractors, government-owned corporations and private developers. Assignments address the movement of people and goods across road networks, development sites and public transport interfaces.

Transport planning and engineering

Point8 combines network analysis with practical infrastructure planning. Its work includes intersection performance, network capacity, traffic signal design, multimodal transport strategies and infrastructure feasibility studies. Development-related services include traffic impact assessments, access and haulage analysis, parking policy and planning support.

The practice also undertakes transport modelling, pedestrian priority studies, cycleway audits and active transport network reviews. Public transport work encompasses bus and rail interface design, while broader advisory assignments support corridor strategies, master planning and transport policy.

Traffic management and road safety

Temporary traffic management is a central area of expertise. Point8 designs, reviews, audits and certifies Traffic Management Plans and Traffic Guidance Schemes against applicable national guidance and state requirements. Its construction-stage work addresses traffic operations and safety around infrastructure delivery.

Road safety auditing extends from feasibility and preliminary design through detailed design, existing road conditions and roadworks. This allows the consultancy to contribute at successive stages of a project's development and delivery.

Alongside project consulting, Point8 provides technical support for national temporary traffic management guidance. Its work with Austroads includes reviewing, drafting and updating the Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management, connecting its engineering practice with the maintenance of guidance used by road authorities, contractors and designers.
