Main Roads was recently recognised at the Institute of Public Administration Australia (IPAA) - Achievement Awards.

The awards aim to recognise individual and organisational excellence in public service.

Best Practice in Corporate Social Values

A key consideration in the planning and development of Bunbury Outer Ring Road was to contribute to the protection of one of WA’s most endangered marsupials – the Western Ringtail Possum, also known as Ngwayir by local Noongar people.

This award recognised the world-class Western Ringtail Possum Regional Surveys, undertaken to support development of the project.

Best Practice in Innovation

Our sustainability achievements for the Kwinana Freeway Northbound Widening project have been recognised.

Crushed recycled concrete and crumb rubber was used on the recently completed project, minimising lifecycle impacts.

Crumb rubber is produced from recycled scrap rubber such as tyres, and when combined with bitumen produces a highly durable road construction material.

Crushed recycled concrete included material from the Subiaco Oval demolition.
