In an Australian first, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator is holding a dedicated heavy vehicle access seminar for council engineers in conjunction with IPWEA.
The key objectives of the seminar are to provide the road access decision makers in councils with comprehensive knowledge on how to manage their local freight tasks.
Sessions will include:
- How to use the full options of the Heavy Vehicle National Law to best manage local freight tasks to reduce red tape for industry and reduce administrative burden on councils
- How to use the full options of NHVR portal to manage heavy vehicle access applications and freight planning
- How councils can reduce truck trips on their roads by encouraging greater take-up of the superior productivity and safety features of the heavy vehicles approved under the NHVR Performance Based Standards scheme.
- IPWEA Fleet’s new CORSaMS suite of services to help fleet operators to meet their new legislative obligations
Planning is also underway to include a field trip to industry sites to get a better understanding of the unique elements of moving oversize/overmass loads and cranes which often have short lead times and need access approval quickly.
When – Monday 22 October and Tuesday 23 October 2018
Where - NHVR offices, 76 Skyring Terrace Newstead, Qld, 4006
Cost – the seminar is FREE. Attendees will need to cover their own travel, accommodation and any other expenses.
The seminar is shaping up as a really worthwhile two days, so mark your diaries. A draft agenda will be circulated soon.
