AustStab Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
AustStab wishes to advise of the following actions being taken as a consequence of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions on movement and gatherings being implemented across Australia.
Australian Pavement Recycling and Stabilisation Conference
This year’s Australian Pavement Recycling and Stabilisation Conference, which was scheduled to take place on 29th July 2020, has been cancelled. Cancellation of the 2020 conference means that other associated activities will also be cancelled, including the golf competition and informal dinner scheduled for Tuesday 28th July and the AustStab Gala Dinner and Awards Night scheduled for Wednesday 29th July. This means that no AustStab Awards of Excellence will be awarded for 2020 and consequently Award nominations are now closed, as is the conference Call for Papers. AustStab thanks those who have submitted conference abstracts and awards nominations and will be in touch to discuss the possibility of their resubmission in 2021.
AustStab Annual General Meeting
The AustStab Annual General Meeting, which was scheduled to take place on the 30th July 2020, will be postponed until an appropriate later date can be identified.
