This course sets out the design philosophy principles in technical documents standards, drawings and specifications which underpin the creation of a successful design. It will define the design domain concept where the design domain for a new road is traditionally referred to as the ‘normal design domain. It also expands into extended design domain and use of design exceptions with justification. These concepts and the reporting process are acknowledged in the TMR (Transport and Main Roads) Road Planning and Design Manual.
Program outcomes
At the completion of this program participants will be able to:
- Appreciate the intention of road design, its domain and responsibilities as a designer and engineer.
- Utilise the EDD (Extended Design Domain) and Design Exception concept and relationship within overall road design and associated publications.
- Gain awareness of liability concerns including certification and accountability
- Have knowledge of the EDD and Design Exception design delivery reporting process.
Target Audience
All personnel working in the field of road design. This
includes Road design engineers, designers, technicians, consultants, and local
authorities.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of road design and operation.
Business Benefits
Road design staff participating in this program
will walk away with expanded technical knowledge of design domain concept
parameters and use of design exception strategies to assist in their roles.
Program Content
- Design Philosophy
- Design Domain
- Extended Design Domain
- Design Exceptions
- Design Classes
- Potential Liability
- EDD and Design Exception Process and Reporting
Duration – 6hours - This is face to face training (there is no option to link in via Teams meeting)

Design Philosophy and Domains Concept and Reporting
This course sets out the design philosophy principles in technical documents standards, drawings and specifications which underpin the creation of a successful design.
It will define the design domain concept where the design domain for a new road is traditionally referred to as the ‘normal design domain’.
Program Outcomes
- Appreciate the intention of road design, its domain and role / responsibilities as a designer and engineer.
- Being able to recognise, consider, and produce designs within the extended design domain or as design exceptions as part of geometrical road design for Transport and Main Roads projects.
- Be able to consider design problems and develop appropriate solutions for each project.

This advanced program enhances knowledge in the use of Extended Design Domain and managing Design Exceptions. It covers the integration of relevant design parameters and values to enable appropriate road designs to be produced. Interactive lectures, discussion, real life case studies and exercises form the basis of this technically focused program.
Program outcomes
At the completion of this program participants will be able to:
interpret, consider, and produce designs within the Extended Design Domain or as Design Exceptions as part of geometrical road design for Transport and Main Roads’ projects.
recognise, analyse, and design context sensitive solutions to address concerns faced during the road design process.
display enhanced confidence in decision making processes directly related to overall road design within the Extended Design Domain and Design Exceptions context.
Target Audience
The course is primarily aimed at personnel working in the development of road designs. This includes experienced road designers, engineers and technicians from TMR, consultancies and local authorities.
Prerequisites
Completion of the Design Philosophy and Domains Awareness and Extended Design Domain and Design Exception Concept and Reporting online courses and knowledge of road design and operation.
Those
that have previously attended the Design Philosophy and Domains Concept and
Reporting course are not required to complete the online courses.
Business Benefits
Road design staff participating in this program will walk away with expanded technical knowledge of extended design domain parameters and potential design exception strategies to assist in their roles.
