HVPLSRRG put to work.

As part of the Heavy Vehicle Licenced Pilot Scheme Review, HVS established a reference group to involve the transport industry, pilot associations, individual pilots, the Department of Training & Workforce Development and other stakeholders. The purpose of the Group is to ensure the transport industry and interested parties are able to participate in the considerations arising from the review where possible.

The first meeting of the Heavy Vehicle Pilot Reference Group (HVPRG) was held in March 2022 in which the Terms of Reference and Code of Conduct were accepted by the group. The group also identified the key issues which should be included in the review. These are:

• Training of pilots;
• Pilots on-road responsibilities and awareness, and the Pilot Code of Conduct;
• Public awareness and information regarding Over Size Over Mass (OSOM) movements;
• Compliance aspects, such as pilot vehicle standards and the outcome of training.

The next meeting of the group is planned for late May 2022.
