Our story

Through visionary conference content and an immersive exhibition, Roads and Traffic AU will showcase the materials, systems and solutions transforming how Australia designs, procures and delivers its road networks.

Co-located with MOVE AU and EV Charge Live Australia, Roads and Traffic AU forms the nation’s most comprehensive future mobility and energy event, bringing together the organisations shaping transport, infrastructure and sustainability.

Leveraging the highly successful UK show, Roads and Traffic AU aims to deliver a show that better aligns with the industry in Australia, providing a better experience for all stakeholders across the road infrastructure ecosystem.

Why now?

Road infrastructure investment is still a major issue for the Commonwealth and State governments of Australia. The pipeline of major road projects over the next four years (2022 – 26) is significant:

• Commonwealth government: expect to invest $40-50 billion in road projects over the next four years.

• NSW: estimated to spend $32-35 billion. Key projects include Sydney Gateway and WestConnex.

• Victoria: approximately $20 billion. Key projects include North East Link and West Gate Tunnel.

• Queensland: estimating $20 billion spend on road infrastructure. Key projects are the Bruce Highway Upgrade and the M1 Pacific Motorway.

• Western Australia: estimating $8-10 billion. Key projects are Tonkin Highway Extension and the Mitchell Freeway Expansion.

• SA, Tasmania, ACT and NT: combined estimate of $3.8-5 billion.

Australia is undergoing a major transformation in transport and infrastructure, with road and mobility projects playing a critical role. The NSW Government alone is investing $72.3 billion over four years into transport infrastructure — including road upgrades, metro expansions, and tunnel developments — making up over 60% of its total capital expenditure . With the Commonwealth Government allocating $40–50 billion nationally toward road infrastructure, and billions more committed across VIC, QLD, WA, and the rest of Australia, now is the time to position your brand in this growing market.

This large-scale investment across the country combined with the innovation/disruption impacting the public transport sector in the form of electric vehicles, micro mobility, CAVs and the requirement to decarbonise creates a rich visitor and exhibitor community in need of new ideas and new solutions.
