Date: 5 June 2026 | Time: 8:30 AM – 5.00 PM ACST
The Regional Road Maintenance Symposium (RRMS) 2026 is a one-day, practical forum for professionals delivering and managing road maintenance and rehabilitation works across regional and local government road networks in South Australia.
Organised jointly by the Pavement Recycling & Stabilisation Association (AustStab), Australian Flexible Pavement Association (AfPA) and Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) SA, the RRMS brings together councils, state road authorities, contractors, consultants and suppliers for an engaging program of dynamic speakers, topical discussion and valuable industry networking.
Attendees who complete the full-day program can claim up to 9 CPD hours.
Who Should Attend
The RRMS 2026 is designed for practitioners involved in the planning, delivery and management of regional road maintenance and rehabilitation across South Australia, including:
- SA council engineers and asset managers
- Works supervisors and depot managers
- Regional road authority practitioners and project managers
- Pavement contractors and specialist subcontractors
- Consultants and technical advisors working in regional road networks
- Materials and equipment suppliers
Why Attend
South Australian road networks face unique challenges — climate variability, long haul distances, marginal materials and tight maintenance budgets. The RRMS 2026 focuses on practical, SA-specific solutions that reduce whole-of-life costs and minimise repeat maintenance across regional and local government networks.
Whether you’re an engineer evaluating treatment options, an asset manager stretching a limited budget, or a depot manager tired of fixing the same roads repeatedly — this Symposium delivers practical guidance, real project experience and proven techniques tailored to South Australian conditions.
What You’ll Learn
- How design choices impact long-term road maintenance costs
- When stabilisation and pavement recycling deliver the best value
- How to select the right wearing course for South Australian roads
- Where recycled materials can be confidently applied for improved performance and cost savings
This forum explores practical strategies and technologies that can improve road performance while optimising maintenance investment.
Places are limited to maintain interactive discussions and networking opportunities. Early registration is recommended.
