The Australian Logistics Council supports the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) Amendment Bill and Regulations as a critical step in enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability in Australia’s logistics sector. Key measures, including the National Audit Standard, increased vehicle mass and size allowances, and streamlined accreditation, aim to boost productivity while reducing compliance burdens. The ALC urges harmonised regulations, infrastructure upgrades, workforce strategies, and incentives for fleet sustainability to ensure effective implementation and long-term resilience of the national supply chain.
