announced<\/a> earlier this year, where it was revealed that a panel consisting of Dr Kerry Schott, Lucio Di Bartolomeo and Dr Hermione Parsons would report to NSW Transport Minister, Jo Haylen, who would assist in the development of a new freight strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to the NSW Government, freight has seen major changes since a sector plan was last developed more than two decades ago, including the leasing of NSW\u2019s three key ports, changes to vehicle technology and new emission reduction targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe release of the Freight Policy Reform Program Consultation Paper is a critical step in formulating the blueprint for improving freight efficiency,\u201d Haylen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe encourage industry to get involved and provide feedback on how we can support a resilient freight sector, which will mean cheaper goods, delivered more quickly and efficiently, for the people of NSW.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The consultation paper outlines the guiding principles, scope and purpose of the reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It identifies the key issues across the freight and logistics sector that would benefit from government and industry attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reform will also include further consultation on the draft NSW Heavy Vehicle Access Policy (HVAP) and recommendations made in the Review of the Port Botany Landside Improvement Strategy (PBLIS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
