Main Roads has provided the independent engineering report and the new operating conditions to other jurisdictions. As a result, Main Roads was asked to present the new requirements at a recent Austroads meeting.
All jurisdictions indicated support of the requirements introduced by WA and expressed their desire to adopt similar requirements. Victoria and Tasmania advised they will be using the report to shape their future access and potentially harmonise the requirements.
