Austroads is developing a number of distinctive Guides, one of which will deal with Road Transport Planning. Each Austroads Guide has an associated review panel comprised of senior representatives from Austroads jurisdictions and key stakeholders. The purpose of the review panel is to oversee the development of the Guides. Review panel members advise on the scope, structure and broad content of the Guides and facilitate development and ongoing maintenance of the Guides.

The Guide to Road Transport Planning will consist of one part which describes the key principles and activities involved in transportation planning.
