Overview The urban and regional freight task is defining the future for freight in Australia. 80% of all goods moved do not leave urban or built up areas. Growth is phenomenal and communities are challenged by this growing freight task. The Urban and Regional Freight workshop will define this growing task. It will bring together experts in the field of urban design, vehicle design, local government, freight generators and the community. Together they will explore urban and regional freight vehicles and freight outcomes that will meet the needs of a 24/7 society. It will cover topics including:
- Freight projections
- Freight programs
- Freight generators needs
- Freight in the community
- Trucks of the future
- Managing local roads using IAP
- Community views – panel of municipal CEO’s
- Solutions workshops
The day will identify the key issues to allow productive carriage of freight across Australia’s municipal road network
