The Australian Logistics Council (ALC) has unveiled a new Strategic Plan for 2010-2011, which outlines the approach to ensure that ALC is policy focussed, representative of the Australian freight Transport & Logistics (T&L) industry, and financially sustainable.
“The driver behind the development of the new strategic approach was feedback from key industry and government stakeholders that ALC should take the necessary steps to establish itself as the “go to” organisation in Canberra representing the Australian freight T&L industry”, said ALC Chief Executive Michael Kilgariff.
“The desired outcome is that ALC should be viewed by Government as the primary source of information on Australian freight T&L issues.
“This transformation in ALC comes at a critical time given the Prime Minister’s announcement in January 2010 that ‘In 2010 the transport priority for the Council of Australian Governments will be freight transport’.“Infrastructure & Transport Minister Anthony Albanese has also recently written to ALC advising that he and the Prime Minister ‘look forward to working with ALC to ensure freight policy is given rightful prominence in the national economic and infrastructure discussion’.
“With this in mind, ALC is positioning itself as the peak national body for Australia’s freight T&L industry. The aim is to influence government policy decisions to ensure that Australia has a safe, secure, reliable, sustainable and competitive freight T&L industry.”
