Keeping freight moving

We’re working collaboratively with Government & Industry to keep freight moving

FREIGHT AND LOGISTICS COUNCIL OF WA

An increasing population and the growth in urban densification provides challenges in achieving a sustainable balance between community amenity and freight efficiency. In addition, growing levels of trade mean ever-greater demands on our road and rail networks, on our ports and shipping services, and on our airports.

To respond to this growth, it is important that there is a shared vision on how to cater for future demands on our freight network in a manner that works for industry and for the community.

The Freight and Logistics Council of Western Australia is a Ministerially appointed council that contributes towards this vision through the provision of independent advice to the Minister for Transport on strategic policy issues impacting the delivery of successful freight services in the State.

The Council is a forum where freight users and service providers sit side-by-side with Government policy makers to ensure the efficiency and sustainability of the State’s freight and logistics system.

FREIGHT AND LOGISTICS COUNCIL OF WA RECENTLY HELD A FORUM OF COUNCIL MEMBERS AND OUR BROADER FREIGHT REFERENCE GROUP. 

Supply Chain Resilience is a major focus for the Freight and Logistics Council of WA (FLCWA). Our role is to provide direct advice to the Minister for Transport on strategic cross-modal issues impacting the sector.

Recently we held a Supply Chain Resilience Forum of council members and our broader freight reference group (which draws from the freight sector, industry associations, government and the tertiary institutions) to consider what is keeping us awake at night as we look to the future.

Three key questions formed the basis for discussion.

  • How will WA’s freight task evolve over the next 10-20 years?
  • What factors are likely to impact on supply chains?
  • How to lock in improved supply chain resilience?

Minister for Planning, Ports, Local Govt and the Minister assisting the Minister for Transport David Michael was present at the conclusion of the forum to hear directly from the group and how the FLCWA will consider what advice it wishes to put forward to him.

A big day with great insights from all, expertly facilitated by Linton Pike.
