A shared goal of better South Australian roads brought 80+ industry professionals together in one room.

Last Friday, AfPA, AustStab, and IPWEA SA hosted the Road Maintenance Symposium in Adelaide, bringing together councils, state road authorities, contractors, consultants, and suppliers.

Jon Whelan, CEO of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, opened the day with a message worth hearing: "A connected industry builds better roads".

Attendees walked away with practical, applicable insights across road design, stabilisation, surface selection, and recycled materials. Knowledge that directly translates to better roads and lower costs for South Australia.

Thank you to our sponsors Stabilised Pavements of Australia (Principal Partner), SuperSealing, and Broons (Networking Sponsors) for making the day possible.
And to our presenters and attendees, you made it worth showing up.

Australia's road maintenance backlog stands at $13.6 billion.

A minimum 7% annual reseal rate is the most cost-effective infrastructure investment available to governments today.

AfPA advances the national essentials pathway with the Sprayed Seal Essentials Workshop, a three-day, Austroads-aligned program strengthening technical and supervisory capability across spray sealing operations. Together with Asphalt Paving Essentials, the two programs deliver a single, consistent standard of capability development across the two surfacing disciplines that account for Australia's sealed road network.

Content aligns with AGPT04K seal design methodology and current state-based specifications, covering seal design, construction practice, quality assurance, defect diagnosis, and risk management.

Designed for supervisors, engineers, consultants, inspectors, project managers, and state and local government officers involved in the planning, delivery, and oversight of spray sealing works.

First course coming up in Victoria:
📅 28–30 July 2026 | Seasons 5 Resort, Point Cook
📌Up to 18 CPD hours | Intermediate | Recognised by state and local road authorities

Last week, AfPA released the first industry-wide dataset on road worker safety in Australia's flexible pavement sector. 4,010 incidents. Four major contractors. One shared risk framework.

The patterns it surfaces are clear and in some cases, not what you'd expect.

Victoria's road surfacing capacity just grew by 160 tonnes an hour.

AfPA CEO Tony Aloisio and Victorian Executive Director Graham Henderson attended the official opening of Asphaltech's new Werribee asphalt plant; a significant investment in regional production capacity and road surfacing across Melbourne's south-west.

The facility's Marini T-Box 160 plant delivers up to 160 tonnes per hour, servicing South West Melbourne, Wyndham, Geelong and surrounding regions.

Wyndham City Council Deputy Mayor Councillor Jasmine Hill also joined the occasion, signalling strong local government support for the facility.

Congratulations to the Asphaltech team on this achievement.
