If your development impacts a State road, the WAD process outlines what's required. Learn how road design approvals, TfNSW engagement, and staged reviews help keep projects safe, compliant, and moving forward.

Next time you take a scenic drive through rural New South Wales, it’s worth pausing to consider the engineering beneath your wheels. 

Beyond the rolling landscapes and open skies lies a carefully calculated system that keeps you safe and comfortable, especially as the road curves.

Winning the Northern Rivers Outstanding New Business Award has been a huge honour for us.

It reflects long days, community trust, and our hope to keep doing work that matters, locally, sustainably, and together.

Being included in The Surveyor, published by Surveyors Australia, was more than a flattering moment. It gave us the opportunity to take a step back and reflect on the journey we’ve been on, the values we’re building from, and the vision that’s driving us forward.

At Terania Consulting, we talk a lot about impact - how the work we do shapes communities, supports the next generation, and strengthens the profession as a whole. So when our Principal Registered Surveyor, Jeff Pickford, was recently elected as a Director of the Institution of Surveyors NSW (ISNSW), it felt like a perfect reflection of the values we aim to bring to our work every day.

Whether you’re planning a road upgrade or building a driveway, you’ll need permission before you begin. In NSW this is called a Section 138 Approval.

Every time we hit the road, we have to trust that the road infrastructure is going to hold up and keep us safe against the elements. When considering road design, one of the critical challenges that demand our attention is aquaplaning.
