Heavy vehicle access approval conditions vary across Australia with state, local government and other road managers using their own policies, procedures and decision-making tools.

Austroads commissioned a review of the heavy vehicle road access tools used in jurisdictions across Australia and New Zealand. Based on the review and a gap analysis, a decision making framework and resource repository have been proposed to help heavy vehicle operators and road asset owners make clear and consistent road access and compliance assessment decisions.

In this webinar, held on 20 August 2020, Drew Gaynor and Christina Chin present the key findings and recommendations of the review, focusing on:

• the current use of access decision making tools
• a literature review of domestic research reports and international practices
• development of a decision making framework to support road managers
• assembly of a resource repository of decision making tools for jurisdictions and local government to access.
