The NSW metropolitan and regional workshops are scheduled for February through to May this year. 

This workshop aims to provide practical advice on road stabilisation solutions noting the benefits and limitations of the design and construction process. Issues associated with undertaking stabilisation works using techniques which are not consistent with recognised best practice will also be discussed.

The stabilisation process has many environmental benefits and if you are keen to make your mark on climate change and sustainability, attending the workshop will provide you with the necessary skills to apply this form of road construction and maintenance the next day. .
