SLGAAP Phase 1 - Pilot

online community engagement

Engineering assessments for 100 assets were completed in October 2020. Asset information will be published in the NHVR Portal Route Planner, via a map layer. This will give road managers and industry the ability to select the best route for their vehicle movements.

The SLGAAP team worked with a number of local government Road Managers, with the qualifying assets validated through a matrix-based process.  Using an online survey tool, these Road Managers were asked to submit details for up to ten (10) assets for assessment. The SLGAAP team then reviewed the list of assets and prioritise those for eligibility and assessment under the pilot.

Engagement included industry associations and local industry in areas of the selected Road Managers.

Results of asset assessments will be made available to users of the NHVR Portal and the work will inform the development of a Road Manager Toolkit.

 

What assets were assessed during the Phase 1 - Pilot?

Local governments were asked to nominate assets for engineering assessments, the pilot phase included 100 assets from 12 local government areas.

PROJECT INFO

FAQS

How Jurisdictions can support the project:

  • Share project information with transport operators
  • Promote the benefits of the project to industry
  • Provide road asset data if available and on request
  • Assist with the identification of key heavy vehicle routes

Based on self-nomination, analysis of data and discussions with jurisdictions and local government associations, several local councils have expressed interest in participating in the pilot.

Further screening was conducted on the nominated assets to qualify their suitability for the project on a case by case process. The project team utilised bridge engineering assessment standards to filter nominated assets as well as information regarding OverSize/OverMass (OSOM) heavy vehicle movements across the structures.

Due to COVID-19 the Pilot Phase has required adaptation and flexibility, however is still on target to achieve the target deliverables. Some assessment tasks from Phase 1 may roll into Phase 2 due to social distancing requirements and are subject to change based on external factors.

Councils can opt-in if they want to be considered to participate in the program, by emailing roadassetproject@nhvr.gov.au or visiting the Phase 2 project phase.
