Hello and welcome to our webinar on the implementation of Austroads technical specifications.

I'm a communications officer at Austroads, and I'll be moderating today's session alongside Ross Guppy, who will moderate the Q&A portion after the presentation.

I'd like to start by acknowledging the Treaty of Waitangi and Māori as the original people of New Zealand.

I also acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the custodians of the lands from which we are broadcasting today.

I'm in Sydney, so today I am on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation.

I pay my respects to elders past and present and to their deep and ongoing connection to the land.

Today's presenters will speak for around forty-five minutes, then we'll have a Q&A session for fifteen minutes at the end.

The slides for this webinar can be downloaded from the Handouts section of the sidebar, which you'll find on the right-hand side of your screen.

To send us your questions for the Q&A, please use the Question tab in your sidebar.

If your question relates to any particular slide, include the number of that slide in your message.

But just a quick tip, if you lose sound or your picture freezes, the issue is most likely with your connection.
