Highlights

Who Dares has planned and controlled traffic for iconic sporting events with thousands of participants such as the City2Surf, Sydney Half Marathon, SCG Cricket Test and Seven Bridges Walk. We've devised and implemented traffic strategies for huge community events including World Youth Day, Sydney New Year's Eve, the St Patrick's Day Parade and Sorry Day.

Large music and arts festivals like Field Day, Parklife, the Sydney Festival and Harbourlife have relied on us to take care of their vehicular and pedestrian traffic flows. We've worked on blockbuster movies such as Superman Returns, when we locked down multiple roads in Sydney's CBD for 48 hours, and The Matrix, when we ensured city streets were deserted for helicopter shots.

We've closed off the Gladesville Bridge – the first time this has ever been attempted – for the filming of the Ford Falcon "First" commercial, and we've diverted traffic flows through The Rocks so that amazing chopper stunts could be filmed for the famous Rexona Stunt City TVC.

We've also provided lead-follow driving and traffic control to enable a Top Gear presenter to drive a V8 Supercar through suburban Sydney, quarantined a long stretch of the Western Distributor for the filming of an Incubus music video, and provided practical traffic solutions for dozens of TV productions like Dance Academy, Spirited and The X Factor.
