5th Australian Small Bridges Conference

The 5th Australian Small Bridges Conference has been designed to alert bridge and road engineers, managers, contractors and suppliers about significant new developments and requirements for bridges.

The two day conference program will focus on small to medium bridges, both road and pedestrian. Small and medium bridges are the most common type of bridge in Australia.
 
Local Government Authorities are in particular currently faced with major challenges in their management and so Local Government Projects are a major theme of the conference.
 
Small Bridges are located not only within road reserves but also occur on train lines, parks & gardens, national parks, mines, forestry areas, private property and in public areas such as zoos. Small bridges can be for vehicles, trains, pedestrians or even stock & wildlife. Structures such as elevated boardwalks and viewing platforms also fall within the scope of this conference.

This event will bring together councils, state government road managers, railways, government agencies and the private sector.
 
State and Local Government Engineers, leading practitioners and consultants in the bridge sector will present up-to-the-minute, highly relevant information to assist asset owners, road managers and engineers to perform their roles in an increasingly complex bridge and road environment.
