The major traffic contractor was ordered by the federal court last week to enter liquidation as major WA road projects could be disrupted by the collapse
Major traffic contractor Advanced Traffic Management has announced that it has entered liquidation, leaving 400 employees jobless in Western Australia.
Last week, Advanced Traffic Management in WA appointed David Hodgson and Andrew Hewitt as liquidators after the federal court ordered the company to do so, with staff allegedly finding out they had lost their jobs over text.
Advanced Traffic Management, according to WA Today, held contracts with Decmil, CPB and Acciona while working on infrastructure projects such as the Bunbury Outer Ring Road.
The Advanced Traffic Management business was part of the wider ATM group, with a WA government spokesperson saying the collapse of the company wouldn’t delay major projects.
Instead, the WA government has called on construction companies to employ jobless people involved in the collapse.
Advanced Traffic Management in WA was founded more than 20 years ago in Perth while operating throughout WA.
Unions are now negotiating with the WA government to find a way to employ hundreds of workers who have lost their jobs.
The liquidation, according to ABC News, began in April when a subsidiary company launched an application, with the causes of Advanced Traffic Management’s liquidation yet to be determined.
