Optus Stadium is one of Western Australia’s most prominent venues and a cornerstone of Perth’s major events precinct. Since the early development of the stadium, Traffic Force has been proud to provide traffic management services at Optus Stadium, supporting both construction activities and the safe delivery of large-scale public events.
Working within this complex and high-profile environment reflects our capability to manage traffic safely, efficiently, and compliantly in locations that experience significant traffic and pedestrian demand.
Supporting Traffic Management During Development
During the development and construction phase of Optus Stadium, effective traffic management was critical to maintaining safety around a large, evolving worksite located within a busy transport corridor.
Our services supported changing site conditions, staged construction works and fluctuating access requirements, while maintaining safe movement for road users, pedestrians and construction personnel. This phase required detailed planning, flexibility and close coordination with multiple stakeholders as the precinct took shape.
Managing Major Events and High Crowd Volumes
Since opening, Optus Stadium has hosted a wide range of major sporting events and live entertainment. Events include AFL, AFLW and WAFL, all three forms of cricket, NRL including two State of Origin matches, rugby union (including two Bledisloe Cups with our third set for 2025), WWE, and numerous concerts including Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, P!NK, Taylor Swift, and U2 – as well as soccer greats, AC Milan and AS Roma.
Many of these events attract crowds of 40,000 to 60,000 patrons, placing significant temporary demand on surrounding roads, pedestrian routes and public transport networks. Traffic management plays a critical role in ensuring these events operate safely and smoothly, particularly before and after peak arrival and departure periods.
Our traffic management services have supported events by assisting with vehicle movements, pedestrian flow management, and maintaining safe access for emergency services and public transport operations.
Operating in a Complex Event Environment
Traffic management at Optus Stadium requires a high level of coordination due to the size of the venue, the surrounding infrastructure, and the volume of people attending events. Each event presents unique challenges, including varying traffic conditions, weather considerations, and event-specific operational requirements.
Our experience at the stadium demonstrates our ability to operate in fast-paced environments where safety, compliance, and professionalism are essential. It also highlights the importance of having experienced traffic management teams who understand Perth’s road network and can adapt quickly to changing conditions.
