Registrations open for ALGA roads congress

Registrations are now open for ALGA’s national Congress on roads and infrastructure which will be held from 6-7 September in Canberra.

The 2023 National Local Roads, Transport & Infrastructure Congress  – for Mayors, Shire Presidents, Councillors, CEOs, General Managers and local government engineers and works managers – will include sessions on road funding, road safety and heavy vehicle access.

The congress will showcase a broader focus on community infrastructure, encompassing renewable energy deployment and integration, innovations in active transport, waste and recycling, affordable housing and resilient telecommunications.

ALGA has assembled an impressive line-up of guest speakers for the event, including Natasha Bradshaw from the Grattan Institute, who will share the preliminary findings of the institute’s research into road funding in Australia.

Associate Professor Ben Beck, from Monash University, will present the latest trends in active transport, while Dr Ian Faulks will share practical solutions for improving road safety on local roads.

Minister for Local Government, Kristy McBain will also talk at the congress dinner on September 6, and Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Senator Bridget McKenzie, will speak at the start of the second day.’
