The Freight and Logistics Council of New South Wales (FALCONSW) has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers to develop a strategy to improve efficiency in the state's freight and logistics industry.
PwC was selected from about eight organisations to conduct the review, which is estimated to cost between $150,000 and $200,000, FALCONSW acting chief executive Hugh McMaster said.
The research, to be titled "Actions for NSW Freight and Logistics Industry Efficiencies and 21st Century Sustainability and Challenges", is due to be completed in about five months time, Mr McMaster said.
"PwC's freight and logistics project will collate information from a range of studies and programs conducted into the land, sea and air freight industries and advise on the best path forward for practical improvements," he said.
"The project will address expected future developments and identify non-infrastructure initiatives for the industry which will increase corridor capacity, reduce congestion and address sustainability and growth."
A "critically important" component of the project would be consultation with key industry shareholders in NSW, Mr McMaster said.
