What a fantastic Optimise event last night at GHD’s Brisbane office, and the perfect way to wrap up our Optimise events for the year! 🎉

A big thank you to everyone who joined us. It was great to see everyone networking, and amazing to welcome some new faces into the community.

How well do you know rural and remote roads?

During National Road Safety Week, Maranoa Regional Council launched a video series highlighting the realities of regional driving: including fatigue, distractions, changing conditions and long-distance travel.

The launch was attended by the Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Brent Mickelberg, Peter Frazer OAM (SARAH Group), and local emergency services and first responders.

Some great work here from the team at Maranoa Regional Council in developing this initiative to help shine a spotlight on the importance of road safety on rural and remote roads.

Road Safety Week is a reminder that every decision on the road matters.

Across Queensland and the Northern Territory, public works professionals play a key role in shaping safer infrastructure. But safer roads also depend on the choices we make every day as drivers.

This week, we’re encouraging our community to
• Remove distractions
• Slow down and drive to conditions
• Never drive tired or under the influence
• Protect vulnerable road users and roadside workers

👉 Take the pledge to drive so others survive: https://roadsafetyweek.com.au/
