We are pleased to announce that the NatRoad Workshops will resume for 2012.

The Standing Committee on Transport and Infrastructure (SCOTI) will meet in Canberra on Friday to consider the first substantive bill (Bill 1) containing proposed National Heavy Vehicle Laws that will underpin the establishment of a National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR). NatRoad is calling for Ministers to endorse the bill on the condition that a second amendment bill (Bill 2) is brought forward prior to Bill 1 being applied as law.
