📆 Early bird registrations for the 2026 Local Roads Congress close Tuesday 5 May   The Local Roads Congress continues to be a critical event bringing together local government and state representatives to shape the future of our road network. One of the most important outcomes of the Congress is the Communiqué – which captures the collective voice of our industry and sets the advocacy agenda for the year ahead. As highlighted in last year’s Communiqué, the priorities identified by delegates directly influenced the Roads and Transport Directorate’s advocacy focus over the past 12 months.   The 2025 Communiqué (https://lnkd.in/gPGxqqtW) called for: - Increased and more sustainable funding for local roads - Better alignment between asset management and long-term financial planning - A stronger focus on resilience, road safety, and emerging technologies - Clearer collaboration and responsibility across all levels of government   The 2026 Congress program will again provide a platform for important discussions and collaboration, ensuring this year’s Communiqué continues to drive meaningful change for the industry.   Secure your place before early bird closes on Tuesday 5 May - https://lnkd.in/gi3XMkCq   Joshua Devitt, David Elliott #LocalRoadsCongress #RoadsandTransportDirectorate #LocalGovernment #Infrastructure #AssetManagement #Roads #Advocacy
