Several of Victoria's leading transport experts have been confirmed to attend next month's major road safety education event at the Nhill Trailer Exchange.
Horsham Rural City Council and Hindmarsh Shire Council will host the event in partnership with transport industry groups as well as Victoria Police, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and the Department of Transport and Planning.
Featured speakers include Victorian Transport Association Chief Executive Peter Anderson, Livestock and Rural Transporters Association of Victoria Chief Operating Officer Alina Hawkins, transport safety consultant Mike Wood and many more.
Mr Anderson is one of Australia's foremost experts in transport and logistics, with a lifelong career working in the business of freight movement for private businesses, and more recently Victoria's peak transport industry representative group.
Ms Hawkins recently had the honour of receiving the National Trucking Industry Woman of the Year accolade at the Trucking Australia 2023 conference hosted by the Australian Trucking Association for her involvement in the livestock transport industry.
Horsham Rural City Council Mayor Robyn Gulline encouraged local and interstate heavy vehicle operators to drop in and attend the event at a time that suited them from 4-11 pm on February 14 and 15.
"The event features not only a series of talks from industry leaders, it combines these with practical demonstrations and static displays," Cr Gulline said.
"In addition, transport operators, both local and interstate, will have the opportunity to give feedback to agencies such as Victoria Police, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and local Councils about measures they should be considering."
