About

Join Austroads and the Department for Infrastructure and Transport South Australia for Resilient Transport 2026, a seminar dedicated to advancing resilient Australasian transport networks.

As Australia and New Zealand face increasingly frequent and severe weather events, building resilient transport networks has never been more important. Significant progress has been made in understanding resilience risks, developing frameworks and strengthening the evidence base for resilience planning. The challenge now is turning knowledge into action—embedding resilience across the transport lifecycle and ensuring it is reflected in planning, investment and decision-making processes.

This full-day seminar will bring together transport professionals, policymakers, researchers and industry leaders to explore how resilience is being applied in practice across Australasia. Through expert presentations, real-world case studies and panel discussions, delegates will examine the latest approaches to understanding climate risks, prioritising resilience initiatives and delivering measurable outcomes.

From building the evidence base to scaling resilience across transport systems, the seminar will provide valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with embedding resilience into long-term transport planning, investment and delivery.

The seminar will also provide opportunities to connect with peers from across government, industry and academia who are helping shape the future of resilient transport.
