Tender Description

⁠⁠⁠The purpose of this project will be to review and define the role, directions and priorities of the Austroads Freight sub-program within the Transport Network Operations program.

Austroads’ objectives for this project are to achieve:

  • Improved relevance, value, adaptability, endurance and communications of the Freight sub-program
  • Better alignment with members’ (and broader industry’s) needs in road freight management, operations and planning, including specific considerations for local road managers
  • Identification of areas of opportunities for reciprocal learning and alignment between Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions
  • Clearer focus on technology and data opportunities in road freight management, operations and planning
  • Identification of practical tools, applications and services that may be developed to support the use of the Freight sub-program’s research and guidance
  • Better connections between people and goods mobility within the Transport Network Operations program
  • Better connections of the Freight sub-program with other Austroads Programs
  • Reduce / avoid member agencies needing to each undertake research and guidance development for common needs

In terms of high-level scope, the project will:

  • Consider past and current Austroads freight-related research and guidance and other national / jurisdictional plans, strategies, and initiatives of relevance
  • Consult and workshop with representatives of Austroads member agencies and other key stakeholders to capture their needs, aspirations, and priorities
  • Define the Freight sub-program vision, purpose and objectives
  • Develop a forward plan for the Freight sub-program research, including development of applications and services where relevant, to meet the agreed Freight sub-program vision, purpose and objectives
  • Propose a structure for a future Austroads guide to allow for past, current and future Austroads research to be organised in an enduring format that practitioners can use and derive practical and operational value from.
