As of 1st January 2013 VicRoads requires all contractors and councils to be prequalified in order to undertake traffic management works on VicRoads controlled roads. Some councils have difficulties meeting the pre-qualification requirements as they do not have third party audited quality management sytems and to do so would incurr additional cost. IPWEAvic Board member, David Sutcliffe, is working with MAV and VicRoads to find a suitable solution to this issue.
