Registrations are now open for this year’s Central West NSW Heavy Vehicle Breakfast Forum, which will be held at Club Forbes on Thursday the 11th of June.
Local farmers, contract harvesters, couriers, truck drivers and transport company operators are invited to attend.
Parkes, Forbes and Lachlan Shire Councils’ Road Safety and Injury Prevention Officer, Melanie Suitor, who is organising the forum said this year’s event will focus on legislation and policy updates, access improvements, safety, compliance, an industry case study and more.

“Come along to listen, learn and ask questions of industry experts from NHVR, Transport for NSW, Parkes Shire Council, Forbes Shire Council, Lachlan Shire Council, NTI, NatRoad, NSW Rural Fire Service and NSW Police.
“The topics include; HVNL Reform 2026, Transport for NSW Freight Branch update, access improvements, NTARC Accident Report, NatRoad’s Truckies First Aid Program, mental health and a Q & A with NSW Police,” Ms Suitor said.
