Building on a tried and tested format in Melbourne, Victoria (Ashley Keep & co), this forum is designed to bring the Traction Industry in QLD together to focus on developments within the Traction discipline (OHW & Power).

Queensland Rail and Aurizon Traction specialists are attending to present topics relevant to their networks to inform designers and constructors on recent design developments and what may be coming in the near future. Industry specialists are also giving us the benefit of their recent project learnings.

RTSA as the host provides priority access to its members to attend and enjoy the CPD opportunity, but is also delighted to welcome non-members to benefit from this networking and CPD event.

The draft agenda is given below and will be updated as the speakers are confirmed.

Following the afternoon formal sessions, there will be a networking refreshments session courtesy of the event sponsor and host Arup.

Please register via a ticket to confirm your attendance in person. Please RSVP to attend online. Please note, there is limited capacity for in person attendance. To help us optimise the in-person attendance, please let us know if you need to withdraw your registration by emailing [email protected].
