Townsville Transport Business Dinner-Freight Under Pressure: The NQ Conversation

We know that transport operators in NQ are managing rising operating costs, tight margins, workforce shortages and increasing regulatory and commercial pressures. Extreme weather events, road closures and damaged infrastructure can also disrupt operations with little warning—adding significant cost, delaying freight and limiting access to customers, communities and key supply-chain routes.

These are not abstract policy issues. They directly affect your business, your drivers and your ability to plan, invest and operate sustainably.

QTA is listening, and we are acting.

Join us for a Transport Business Dinner: Freight Under Pressure-The North Queensland Conversation to hear the issues currently shaping QTA’s NQ advocacy agenda, including:

Presentation from Gary Mahon QTA CEO on

• fuel costs and the ability to recover rising operating expenses;

• road access restrictions, closures and approval processes that affect productivity;

• sham contracting, unfair competition and commercial practices; and

• fairer contracting and payment arrangements;

Presentation from Ben Marcus, Chief (Transport Network Security & Resilience), Transport Network Security & Resilience | Office of the Director-General, Transport and Main Roads

• the condition, resilience and capacity of North Queensland’s road infrastructure;

• disaster management - lessons learned and preaparedness for coming season.

We encourage businesses involved in the freight transport supply chain to attend, as well as suppliers and other industry stakeholders for an evening of practical discussion, industry connection and a genuine opportunity to influence the work QTA undertakes for the road freight transport industry.
