Background

The Australian Logistics Council is the peak national body

representing the major and national companies participating in

the Australian freight transport and logistics supply chain.

ALC is the lead advocacy organisation to all levels of Government

and industry on freight transport and logistics supply chain

regulation and infrastructure issues.

The mission of ALC is to influence national transport and

infrastructure regulation and policy to ensure that Australia has safe,

secure, reliable, sustainable and internationally competitive supply

chains.



Objectives

1. Be the nationally recognised voice of Australia’s freight transport

and logistics supply chain

2. Be the leading advocate of appropriate national regulation and

infrastructure to ensure Australia enjoys the full benefits of

freight transport and logistics policy development and reform

3. Promote and encourage greater recognition by Government and

the community of the importance of the freight transport and

logistics industry’s contribution to Australia’s economy

logistics advocacy on behalf of our Members.

Transparent: Working within appropriate legal and governance frameworks to

support the effective delivery of freight transport and logistics advocacy.

Innovative: Continuously scanning the environment to leverage opportunities and

information to provide innovative best practice freight transport and logistics

advocacy.

Responsive: Quickly responding to emerging freight transport and logistics issues to

ensure Australia has safe, secure, reliable, sustainable and internationally

competitive supply chains.

Effective: Working in partnership with our Members and stakeholders to ensure our

freight transport and logistics advocacy is cohesive and collaborative.

Efficient: Efficient utilisation of our resources to ensure that our staff are supported

Organisational Structure



History 1. ALC was established by the Australian Government in September 2002 as a

partnership between the Australian Transport & Logistics (T&L) supply chain

and Government.

2. In 2005 the ALC set up its own office and employed an Executive Director and

support staff.

3. In 2008 the ALC was established as a not for profit Company, Limited by

Guarantee, with a Board of Directors, and Members who are the financial

supporters of the Council and the ‘owners’ of the company.

4. In 2008 Government ceased funding. ALC is now funded by members.

5. In 2010 the ALC developed a new Strategic Plan to establish the ALC as the

‘go to’ organisation representing the major and national companies

participating in the Australian freight transport and logistics supply chain.

Focussed on:

• National Regulation

• National Infrastructure

• Safety

ALC/Government Dialogue

Dept of Infrastructure & Transport recognises ALC as a key

national body representing the national companies participating

in the Australian freight transport and logistics supply chain.

• First formal dialogue was held in April 2011

• Second Dialogue held in Canberra on 23 February 2012.

Focus on:

1. ALC participants providing their perspective on progress

with current reforms and future reform priorities.

2. The Department advising on progress with current reforms

and future strategic directions.







Infrastructure Investment

High-level discussion on the Government’s infrastructure

investment priorities and actions, including:

• How infrastructure investment priorities are meeting the

needs of freight in a constrained budget environment

• Ensuring infrastructure investment focuses on entire supply

chains, not individual projects

• Achieving a better balance between planning, land use and

freight in our cities in the context of greater urban pressures

and an increasing freight task

• Government support for and investment in key intermodal

facilities, including Moorebank




National Transport Regulation

• National Transport Regulators – Heavy Vehicle, Rail Safety

and Maritime Safety

• Safety in the transport industry – role of Industry Safety

Codes

• Air freight security

• How can industry and

government ensure the air

cargo industry maintains

sufficient capacity to transport

goods efficiently and

expeditiously.




National Transport Productivity

What actions both industry and government should be

undertaking to enhance productivity. :

• National Freight and Port Strategies

• Shipping reforms

• Road Reform Plan

• Interface between logistics

and the resources industry



ALC Infrastructure Report Objectives:

• Analyse the merits of the freight projects identified by

Govt from the perspective of their potential ability to

contribute to a growing freight task.

• Identify the priorities of the T&L industry to provide

greater clarity on the projects industry believes warrant

further government investment

• Provide ALC and its members with an evidenced-based

document they can use to lobby governments on the

need for appropriate investment in infrastructure

• Elevate the needs of freight in the infrastructure debate,

which tends to be crowded out by other infrastructure

issues, such as public transport and urban congestion.



Industry Self-Regulation

Chain of Responsibility

• driving greater accountability

across the freight T&L supply chain.

Industry safety codes of practice

• National Logistics Safety Code.

• Developed by ALC as an industry

based risk management Code which sets out clearly all

participants’ responsibilities when they control or influence

the movement of freight in the supply chain.

• “Reasonable Steps” Defence



ALC Annual Forum 28-30 March 2012

Industry and Government leaders will gather at the ALC

Forum 2012 over two big days to discuss what needs to

be done to make sure Australia can cope with the future

logistics challenges.

ALC Annual Forum 28-30 March 2012

Delegates at the Forum will discuss:

• The national transport reforms, which are estimated to

be worth $30 billion to Australia’s economy

• Whether Australia has the road, rail and port

infrastructure in place to meet growing levels of

demand

• The critical role Australia’s ports and shipping play in

positioning Australia in a globalised market

• The steps that need to be taken to make intermodal

freight work more efficiency and effectively

• Making our industry safer through a national approach

to Chain of Responsibility

Conclusion

The ALC is unique in Australia as it is a multimodal,

supply chain focussed non profit organisation that

directly represents the interests of major and national

businesses in the supply chain industry.
