Contemporary Heavy Vehicle Access Decision-Making for Road Managers

The National Automated Access System (NAAS) is intended to support road managers, including road authorities, local government and third parties, to make access decisions more efficiently, driving productivity and safety across state borders.

Austroads has completed a review of the legal and regulatory issues, policy settings and information capture, and associated qualitative benefits of a national automated access system. The review's findings have been provided to Austroads members.

The Heavy Vehicle National Law Reform Implementation Steering Committee is leading the work on NAAS. Information on the work of the Committee, including the NAAS project, can be obtained from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts website.
