Partnerships

Building stronger communities with industry and government
We collaborate with industry and government partners to make positive impacts on transport, logistics and supply chain initiatives around the world.

Our successful collaborations

As a leading international centre of thought leadership in the areas of transport, logistics and supply chain management, we have been involved in many successful collaborative relationships spanning the private and public sectors. Some of these include:

  • Advising on all major toll road projects in Australia and New Zealand, which involved engaging extensively with bidding consortia comprised of Transurban, Theiss, Macquarie Bank, ABN Amro and John Holland.
  • Advising the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, Frontier Economics, PwC, Parsons Brickenhoff, Gilbert and Tobin and the UK’s Southern Water on choice modelling.
  • Advising reverse logistics specialists such as AWA Ltd on distribution networks.
  • Providing input on supply chain logistics for Nestle.
  • Advising the private bus sector on aspects of government interaction.
  • Guiding Australia’s procurement sector on the setting and improvement of their industry standards.
  • Providing input to the New South Wales long-term transport master plan.
  • Conducting a valuation and impact analysis on Sydney’s proposed heavy rail and bus rapid transit system network.
  • Analysing of high speed rail viability with both public and private organisations. 
  • Working in collaboration with the Australasian Rail Association regarding proposals for high speed rail links between Sydney and Melbourne.
When it came to upgrading the skills of key traffic operators and planners at the Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW, seeking input from the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies was an obvious choice. The long term partnership has resulted in a series of specialised study programs that have helped improve staff skill levels and assisted the organisation in addressing its many challenges.
