Local councils are encouraged to submit their applications for funded bridge and culvert engineering assessments through the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s (NHVR) Strategic Local Government Asset Assessment Project (SLGAAP).
The SLGAAP is designed to support local governments in better understanding their asset capability to assist in making heavy vehicle access decisions.
NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto said assessments are focused on bridges and culverts located on key freight routes.
“For this intake of nominations, we’ll provide assessments of local government road assets that deliver whole of network journey outcomes.
“Each assessment includes an engineering report that enables road managers to better understand their asset’s true heavy vehicle capability, to help make informed decisions on network access.
“These assessments will build on the almost 400 assets already assessed in Phase One of the Project,” Mr Petroccitto said.
The NHVR has received a total $20 million from the Federal Government to deliver the Project, which includes assessments for the next three years.
Nominations close Wednesday 8 June 2022.
