The NSW Roads and Transport Directorate, a partnership between Local Government NSW (LGNSW) and the NSW & ACT Division of the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA NSW and ACT), in holding the 2023 Local Roads Congress, resolved to announce the following communiqué. The Congress recognises the critical role of Local Government as a provider of local and regional transport infrastructure in partnership with the State and Federal Governments. The Congress calls for continued action from all levels of government to leverage the current challenges as an opportunity to deliver safe, efficient and resilient road and transport infrastructure to local communities across NSW, now and into the future.
