Roads Australia, the peak national body of road industry stakeholders, has welcomed the release of the draft National Ports Strategy.
RA Chief Executive, Ian Webb, said today it was critical that the planning of Australia's ports went hand in hand with road, rail and land-use planning.
“This draft strategy document provides an opportunity for all stakeholders to have a clearer understanding of the challenges facing Australia’s ports, and to play a part in the development of integrated transport infrastructure solutions that will deliver long-term efficiencies in the movement of our freight,” he said.
Mr Webb said Roads Australia looked forward to making a contribution to the policy development.
