  • Budget delivers a boost for roads and transport, but the task is still ahead of us Articled last month
    April 3, 2019 - The 10-year, $100 billion infrastructure spend promised in last night’s Commonwealth Budget is good news for our major cities and regions. But the pace and size of infrastructure investment needs to grow even more if Australia is to be ‘future ready’ for the challenges of population growth.
  • EV target welcomed, now for road finding reform Articled last month
    April 1, 2019 - The Federal Opposition’s national electric vehicle target of 50 per cent of all new car sales by 2030 is ambitious but achievable - but it must happen in tandem with ‘root and branch’ reform of road funding.
  • National leadership on road safety applauded Articled last month
    Mar 29, 2019 - The establishment of a national Office of Road Safety is a hugely welcome and positive step towards addressing Australia’s road toll.
