Join us for the Transport Engineering Conference (Transport 2024), organised by the Transport Australia Society.
A modern Australia requires a sustainable and resilient transport system. Beyond the challenges society and the economy currently face, population growth, space limitations, induced demand related to infrastructure provision, national net zero emissions objectives and natural disasters are major factors impacting the transport system of tomorrow.
So how do we develop a transport system to support a prosperous nation?
At Transport 2024 we'll explore:
- future transport needs
- smoothing the infrastructure pipeline
- inclusive planning and design
- horizon operations.
Over two days you’ll hear from strategists, cutting-edge researchers and leading practitioners and join discussions and debates that involve you, our participants from across the transport profession – active, public, freight, passengers, air, rail, road and sea.
You will also have ample opportunity to connect with new and existing colleagues including at the gala dinner.
So get ready to learn, be inspired and inform the direction of Australia's transport system.

Plenary speakers
Glenn is the Mott MacDonald Professor of Future Mobility at the University of West of England, Bristol, UK. He is also Vice-President of the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation. He specialises in transport sector developments in the context of ongoing and uncertain social and technological change.
Glenn has been instrumental in bringing forward the ‘decide and provide’ transport planning paradigm and has co-ordinated the three-year pan-European project ‘Triple Access Planning for an Uncertain World’.
He is a vocal supporter of the need for decisive and urgent action to address the climate emergency, and of equality, diversity and inclusion.
Keynote presentation: Triple access planning – a diffusing innovation in transport planning
Traditionally transport planning has sat within the ‘predict and provide’ paradigm. Over the last decade, in an unfolding digital age, there has been growing interest in the alternative proposition of undertaking Triple Access Planning (TAP) in the ‘decide and provide’ paradigm. This is vision-led, access-focused and accommodates uncertainty. Several transport authorities have embraced the new approach. With a Practitioners Handbook for TAP produced in March 2024, the apparent diffusion of innovation in how we can shape the future of transport and society is continuing. This presentation will help you weigh up whether or not you want to join the innovators.
Andrew’s railway career started in 1973 and progressed through maintenance, design, construction and operational leadership across the UK. He has been Chief Engineer of the British railway network (2000–2008) and led the design and parliamentary authorisation of the HS2 high speed rail programme (2009–2018). He has chaired European and world rail committees on high speed rail and rail infrastructure management.
He now advises several governments on rail development and major programme review, chairs the company which operates and infrastructure manages the HS1 Railway and is Professorial Fellow of Engineering at Southampton University.
Keynote presentation: Using fast and high speed rail to drive growth and improve social equity: how to succeed and how to fail
New build high speed and fast upgraded rail has been seen by many countries first as a valuable transport mode between cities and latterly as an enabler of economic growth and “levelling up” left behind regions. Done right these are achievable, done poorly it is a drain on financial, human and political capital. Using examples of both successes and failures, some vital lessons will be offered on why, when and how to plan, design and construct such major investments – what will work, what might work and what will never work!
