Hostile Vehicle Mitigation, also known as HVM, is one of the most important services offered by CATO Location Services. CATO frequently provide this service to local councils and other clients for community and independent events. HVM implementation is a crucial part of any large event happening in a public space. It is just as important as Traffic Management or Security Management when considering the safety of event attendees.
One of our most popular CATO services is providing Traffic Management Plans (TMPs), Road Occupancy Licences (ROLs) and Council Permits to our clients. We provide these services to Film and TV productions, Events and Civil projects intending to conduct work on the road.
With over five years of traffic experience, Kat has worked on numerous large-scale and tier-1 construction projects such as WestConnex and NorthConnex.
CATO is leading the entertainment and construction industries as the first traffic control company to be carbon neutral certified by Climate Active. With over a decade of experience specialising in location services and logistics, CATO delivers innovative and sustainable solutions for environmentally-conscious clients.
Women make up the majority of the full-time team at CATO including two out of three senior managers: Operations Manager, Anna Rosa, and Finance and Payroll Manager, Genevieve Hilton.
Filming has wrapped on the second season of Australian Fremantle/Netflix series Heartbreak High. After a successful first season working with Fremantle, CATO Location Services was re-engaged to provide traffic management, security and production vehicle hire.
We have experience working on events of all sizes, and have been involved with some of the biggest events and productions in Australia’s history. We’ve managed all traffic closures for the iconic City of Sydney and Northern Beaches NYE fireworks for multiple years. In 2023 we worked with North Sydney Council for the first time, successfully managing their New Year’s Eve celebrations also.

As 2023 wraps up, CATO Location Services looks back on a year characterised by the strength of its television content. Despite industry-wide disruptions experienced during the SAG-AFTRA strike, a number of Australian-based productions embraced the slow period as a time to thrive. These include highly successful and internationally regarded TV series such as Home & Away, Colin From Accounts, Heartbreak High, One Night, The Office and Bump.
