The John Shaw Medal has a long history and is seen as one of the most significant achievements in the Australian Road Transport Sector. An award is only made when the selection committee is satisfied that a candidate of sufficient merit has been nominated. The selection panel comprises the previous winners of the Medal.
Recent recipients of the Medal have included:
Don Aitken, Dept of Main Roads WA
Erik Finger, Qld Dept of Main Roads
Geoff Youdale, RTA NSW
Tom Wilmot, Stabilisation Services Ltd
Maurie Benveniste, Transport SA
John Bethune, AAPA
Rod Payze, Department of Transport SA
Neil Doyle, Queensland Main Roads
Peter Balfe, VicRoads
Dick Wharton, Qld Main Roads
John Oliver, ARRB
The medal will not be awarded if the selection committee believes no candidate has met the selection criteria. In exceptional circumstances the Committee may approve up to two medals in a single year.
The Committee will call for nominations from within industry, but may also consider candidates which emerge from its own discussions.
If you are aware of a suitable candidate for the award we would be delighted to receive a nomination addressing each of the selection criteria. Please confirm that the nominee is aware of and is prepared to accept the nomination.
