The Australian Road Forum has won a prestigious International Road Federation (IRF) Global Road Achievement Award for 2007.
ARF’s award in the Advocacy and Lobbying category recognises the significant success the organisation has had in strategically reforming and rebuilding its membership over the last three years.
ARF today has more than 50 members representing all key sectors of the industry, and is recognised by the Federal Government as the national peak body of road transport stakeholders.
Underscoring that status, last year alone nearly 1200 participants from 140 organisations attended ARF lunches, forums and workshops around the country.
ARF’s achievement isn’t the only success for Australia in the 2007 Awards. ARF member, Maunsell, has also won a Global Road Achievement Award in the Design category for its work on the Westlink M7 project, in Sydney.
Started by the IRF in 2000, the Global Road Achievement Awards seek to honor and recognise road projects throughout the world that demonstrate excellence and innovation.
Since the inception of the Awards, nearly 50 projects from two dozen countries have been recognised for their contributions in the advancement of road development worldwide. Past winners include the Queensland Department of Main Roads.
