This Conference focuses on road safety and traffic engineering from a local perspective for local and connecting roads, including pedestrian and cyclist safety. It includes local roads and traffic areas from residential streets, to shopping precincts to rural roads. It will be the third time that this successful conference will have been conducted.

A variety of practical presentations will be made on the conference theme with particular emphasis on what can be achieved at a local level including what individual Local Government Councils are achieving with respect to these issues. This is a practitioner level conference and delegates will gain information that they can implement immediately and learn practical solutions to for reducing the road toll and accident rate as well as severity.

CASE STUDIES will be a particular feature of the conference with extended discussion periods to enable strong audience participation and interaction.

One of our Keynote Presentations will be given by one of Australia’s most well known and respected road safety experts in Professor Mary Lydon. Mary will explore “Why road crashes happen and what can be done about it.”

Mary Lydon has over 30 years experience in roads and road safety. She holds qualifications in civil engineering, operations research and transport, and has held senior positions in both research and operations. Mary joined the

University of Adelaide as Director of the Centre for Automotive Safety Research in March 2008 and is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers.

Gerard Waldron, Managing Director, ARRB Group will deliver a Keynote Presentation on Safe Systems and Local Roads - Road Safety Development, Planning and Action.

The ARRB Group will deliver several presentations. Jason Deller, Principal, Strategic Transport Planning, Sunshine Coast Regional Council and Alan Meares, Road Safety Officer, Moreton Bay Regional Council will make

Comparisons of Emergent Road Safety Strategies in Queensland. Paul Riley, Road Safety Project Manager, Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (NSW) will speak on Motor Vehicle Crash Costs to the Community and raise a methodology for addressing this burden.
