The AITPM Quiz Night is the “must attend” event on the WA calendar. An evening filled with fun and good humour, is mixed with the completive edge to be the annual trivia champions. Please get your colleagues and clients together to form a team of six or register individually and we’ll organise you onto a table!
RACV, AITPM and ACRS have come together to offer a road safety seminar series. There are six sessions aiming to tackle the question of which steps need to be taken to move closer towards zero. We will hear from strategists and practitioners about their experiences and they will offer solutions the industry needs to implement in order to create a safer system to eliminate trauma from the road network.
This webinar will provide an opportunity for members to obtain the latest update on the roads and the metro rail that are currently being built to service the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport.
In 2015, the Austroads Board initiated the strategic priority project “Safety at Road Worksites”. This project was initiated in response to emerging issues in many States / Territories with serious crashes occurring at roadworks. The presentation will be provided by Dr Dan Sullivan who is the Founding Director of “Solutions in Transport”. An overview is also provided of the national implications of the intended changes to the industry. The presentation will be supported by an overview of the Victorian program for harmonisation presented by James Ritchie.
This seminar will focus on issues, projects and opportunities, specific to Regional South Australia. Speakers will present on topics that will be of interest to people in state and local government, consultants, students, younger professionals and those interested in how transport and traffic is progressing in Regional SA.
With the current WA State Road Safety Strategy: Towards Zero 2008-2020 expiring at the end of this year, preparations have been underway to shape the next decade of our journey to ensuring no one has to experience the devastating impacts of a fatal or serious crash. Join us online to hear an update from the Road Safety Commission on progression of the next state strategy, and also from the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council (EMRC) and RAC on what they are doing to help reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on roads in WA.
Following on from the highly successful LUTI Webinar in September, AITPM are now delving into the details of three different LUTI models recently developed in Australia, each using a recent project to highlight their benefits. The speakers for this webinar have been involved in both the development of the models and their implementation on real projects. Renan Grace (KPMG) will talk about the development of CityPlan, an UrbanSim LUTI model for Melbourne and its application for the Suburban Rail Loop Project. Stuart Donovan and Rhiannon Ruteledge (VLC) will talk about Spatial, a simplified SGE land use modelling framework and a case study using Spatial to assess Faster Rail between Melbourne and Geelong. Bonnie Barker will discuss the practical implementation of LUTI modelling into the economic appraisal of projects, using Canberra Light Rail as a case study. The session will round out with a panel discussion involving all speakers and a select group of end users of the LUTI model.
Join AITPM NSW & NSW YPN online for "coffee roulette" style event. People sign up and note their organisation and years of experience. We will pair them up in a breakout room people who don't work at their company and have a different level of experience to what they have.
Join the AITPM VIC YPN online for an informal Young Professional networking session to get to know some of your colleagues through a casual networking session involving a few fun activities in small groups.
Due to a huge response, join us for a live Q&A session as a following up to the webinar. COVID-19 has given us new challenges in respect of travel in general but public transport use in particular. What do we know to date? The Future SR, MR, LR is very uncertain, volatile and changing as we speak; trend lines are useless; and the ‘New Normal’ is not known. Whatever the new normal will be, when will it display stable properties going forward? This event brings together Australia’s academics to explore alternative perspectives on how travel is likely to change as a result of COVID-19. Brought to you in collaboration with the ARTF, ITE-ANZ and the Transport Australia Society.

Mobility is critical to everyone, and accessible and inclusive transport is a vital component of reducing the social exclusion of vulnerable people, especially those with disabilities. The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads has recently released their Accessibility and Inclusion Strategy. Join us for this webinar where we will talk to Kevin Cocks, Executive General Manager (Accessible Transport Network), to hear what the Accessibility and Inclusion Strategy means for infrastructure and service delivery, and how to implement the universal design and co-design principles.
The Netherlands is renowned for its cycling infrastructure and the way in which cycling is embraced generally. Additionally they have an integrated approach to transport generally that allows seamless connection between public transport and active transport.
The relationship between urban development and transport is not simple and one way, but a complex two-way relationship. However, an integrated approach to the modelling of transport and land use has been rarely made, and common practice (particularly in Australia!) has been to model both phenomena independently. Join us for this webinar where we will talk to experts in the field of land use transport interaction (LUTI) modelling as well as hear from Auckland Forecasting Centre in New Zealand where they will share their own experiences in using an integrated LUTI model.
Join us for an informal Virtual Member Meet Up over lunch to catch up with colleagues around the country - a great way to catch with people you may already know and to meet new people. The session will include the use of breakout rooms to allow for smaller group conversations.
The AITPM NSW Committee recently completed its Annual Branch Meeting and have elected a new Committee and Executive. You are invited to this virtual member meet up as a way of introducing the new Committee, Executive, and our plans for the AITPM NSW Branch for the next 12 months.
Join us to hear from young professionals in the industry and virtually connect with your peers over drinks. We will be hearing from Jay Shanmugam, Okka Maw, Alifa Putri and Tiffany Saputra, who will be showcasing their contributions to projects they have been involved in in recent years. This AITPM YPN NSW event aims to recognise young professionals in the transport industry and provide them with an opportunity to showcase their skills, their contributions and share outcomes and lessons learnt. Following brief presentations from our speakers, there will be the opportunity to ask them questions.
Updates on projects and initiatives within the WA Transport Portfolio (Main Roads, DoT and PTA)
Join us to hear from Ben Cebuliak, Acting Manager Movement and Place at Transport for NSW and Marc Lane, Principal of Integrated Frameworks with the Government Architect NSW, following the recent publication of the Practitioners Guide to Movement and Place - implementing Movement and Place in NSW.
