Lifting the Standard of Victoria’s Heavy Vehicle Drivers

“Heavy vehicle drivers newly entering the industry are permitted to drive on our roads with minimal time behind the wheel and with limited experience and understanding of the vehicles they are driving.”

Commissioned by the Victorian Transport Association (VTA), Lifting the Standard outlines the issues with the current approach to Heavy Vehicle Driver Training and Employment Pathways and proposes an improved system that would benefit all road users and the economy.

Lifting the Standard is to be sent to the Government and other key stakeholders to generate discussion and help drive much-needed change.

Port of Melbourne expansion

ICTSI outlined its vision for Australia’s biggest port.

Global port operator International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) presented a significant proposal for the expansion of the Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT), its 100 percent owned subsidiary in the Port of Melbourne.

This proposal would remarkably increase efficiency and pave the way for larger vessels to dock at Australia’s pre-eminent port.

Traceability

Racing Australia introduced a new tracking system and rules to ensure that all Thoroughbreds can be traced for life.

Annual Report and Fact Book

Racing Australia is the national industry body representing Thoroughbred racing in Australia.

Both the Annual Report and the Fact Book have been a major success with positive feedback from various government departments and principal racing authorities. Together they attract several million page views online annually.

Racing Australia's objective in publishing the Fact Book is to draw together annually under one cover the key results and statistics for the Australian Thoroughbred sector for each racing season. The Fact Book has established itself as a useful and reliable source of the broadest range of information relating to Australian Thoroughbred racing and breeding.

In 2015, I produced Racing Australia’s first Annual Report. The landmark merger of the Australian Racing Board (ARB), Racing Information Services Australia (RISA) and the Australian Stud Book (ASB) resulted in establishing Racing Australia in 2015. Racing Australia’s Annual Report 2015 was a first, as neither RISA nor the ARB previously published Annual Reports.

2021 marks the fifth Annual Report I have produced for Racing Australia.

Obtain Train Retain

The Australian Thoroughbred Workforce Development Forum was held at Royal Randwick Racecourse with a focus on Obtaining, Training and Retaining the Thoroughbred workforce and addressing the increasing skills shortage felt across the industry.

With a theme of ‘Together for Racing’, the Forum hosted some 100 racing and breeding stakeholders from across Australia who collaborated to identify ways in which the industry can better Obtain, Train and Retain a workforce now and into the future.

A new more inclusive brand

The Preston Pirates Baseball Club needed a more inclusive brand for the future. With boys and girls and a growing women's program it needed a more inclusive generic face.

As an evolutionary development, the new logo keeps a connection to the past while celebrating the journey the brand is on.

The new logo design is based on respecting the past with the primary use of red and white and creating a new brand which includes a strong and clearly inclusive Pirate with the use of the Pirates Wordmark also serving as a strong visual link to the past.

Bus Route Maps
PTV (Public Transport Victoria) provides public transport services in Melbourne and the state of Victoria. Victoria’s bus network is an essential part of its transport system carrying over 130 million passengers a year.

Greenfields 2020
Route changes were made to most Victorian bus route maps following a tender process, known as Greenfields, which requires the operators to review all routes and do a total rebuild of the current bus routes and timetables.
