Why this project?
First/last mile:
• Infrastructure - loads, geometry
• Amenity - noise, congestion
• Resources - staffing, funding.

Online survey
• Australian Local Government Association
(ALGA) → via its member organisations to
local councils.
• Australian Trucking Association (ATA) and
Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA)
→ via their member organisations to grass
roots industry.
See Section 4
Response rate was poor, so the survey was of little value to the research.
