ALC to move south and refocus

The peak representative body - which is currently based in Robina, in south-east Queensland - said it would also refocus on issues of regulation, infrastructure and lobbying.

The ALC had to move south to achieve this best, chairman Ivan Backman has said.

Mr Backman said arrangements would be made for issues which fell outside of the ALC's new core area of focus.

The council's members cover a broad range of the freight sector including ports, road, rail and airfreight groups, retail giants, government departments, universities, unions and the many transport and freight representative bodies.
