50 delegates from 14 countries in the Asia/Pacificregion attended the Inaugural REAAA MinoRoadshow held between 25-27 August 2008 atthe Legend Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia witha theme of ‘Managing road assets for communityoutcomes’.

Participating Countries

The 50 invited delegates were all senior officers from highwaysand public works departments from selected countries in the Asia/ Pacific region. Countries represented included Samoa, SolomonIslands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia,Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Pakistan andSri Lanka.

The event is aimed at senior managers and professionals drawnfrom road authorities, private industry and the education sectorwhose main concern is the management of national and provincialroads.

Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony on 25 August 2008 was graced by DeputyMinister of Works Malaysia, Datuk Yong Khoon Seng. He deliveredthe speech for the Minister of Works Malaysia, Dato’ Ir. Mohd Zinbin Mohamed.

In delivering the speech, the Deputy Minister said the theme forthe three-day international workshop `Managing Road Assets forCommunity Outcomes` comes timely as the Malaysian Governmenthas given emphasis on maintenance and effective management ofassets. He hoped the participants of this workshop can deliberateand come out with best practices in road asset management, roadinvestment planning as well as road safety initiatives.

In today’s world of globalization, he said the provision ofinfrastructures, of which road network plays an important andintegral role, is essential to enhance the nation’s competitivenessand maintain an edge over its competitions. In Malaysia, the roadnetwork forms the bloodline of the country’s economic activitiescarrying about 96% of transported goods and passengers.

For that reason, the Malaysian Government has continually placedemphasis on the development and maintenance of road network,as is evident from the huge allocation given by the government tothis sector. In the Ninth Malaysia Plan alone, The Public WorksDepartment Malaysia has so far been allocated RM9.6 billion forthe construction of new roads as well as upgrading of existingones. In addition, the Federal Government has also allocated anannual allocation about RM530 million for maintenance of about17,000 kilometers of the Federal roads and another RM1.55 billionfor the upkeep of about 70,000 kilometers of State Roads under theMARRIS grant.

Another Successful Event

The REAAA Governing Council at its 86 th Meeting on October 22, 2008 in Perth Australia, noted the greatsuccess of the event. The idea for organising the Mino Roadshow was conceived some five years ago. The successof the Inaugural Mino Roadshow is historical and a real feather in the cap for REAAA. The event is named in honourof former REAAA President Dr Sadamu Mino of Japan.

Objectives

The Mino Roadshow is an active technology transfer program developed by the REAAA to update skills andkeep abreast of changes and improvements in technology. It is in line with one of the main objectives of REAAA’sStrategic Plan to assist members professional development through technology transfer.

The Theme

The theme lies at the very core of asset management, and adds purpose to the provision and maintenanceof road infrastructure, and the responsibilities which road authorities must live up to in the interests of benefitingthe community and minimising negative impacts.

Achievements

The three-day workshop specifically addressed best practice road asset management, investment planning and roadsafety in Australasia and south east Asia, using examples from throughout the region.

The subject matter combining asset management and road safety issues in a single forum was a unique experiencefor many delegates exposing them to areas which would normally be considered beyond their operationalresponsibility. Participants benefited by exposure to these topics and the ensuing discussion. The informationand tools provided will be readily applicable to future work in managing road assets for community outcomes.

Time was also set aside for workshops and networking between delegates and it was very encouraging to see thedegree of networking and rapport between delegates from a range of countries. This has set the scene for ongoingfuture cooperation through groupings such as those provided by REAAA.

FIRST TECHNICAL REPORTANOTHER MILESTONE

REAAA is to publish its first technical report or compendium on `Guide to thePrivatisation of Expressways and Highways`. The report is the first of its kind to be published by

the regional association. It is also the positive outcomes of the Heads of Road Authorities (HORA) meetings.

The Heads of Road Authorities have met annually since 2002.

Council Approves Report

The report was prepared by the HORA Advisory Panel on Privatisation of RoadFacilities. The Chairman of the Advisory Panel Dato’ Mohamad Razali bin Othmanpresented the final draft of the report at the 86th Council meeting in Perth. Thereport was approved and it will be printed in Malaysia for distribution to heads ofroad authorities in this region and REAAA Governing Council members. REAAA

members can log in to REAAA website www.reaaa.net to view and download the48-page report.

Planning for A Seminar

Dato’ Mohamad Razali who is also the Director General of Malaysian Highway Authority told the Council meetingthat a seminar based on `Guide to the Privatisation of Expressways and Highways is being planned to be held eitherin Malaysia or Korea next year. It is aimed at exchanging ideas and sharing experience on various aspects on theprivatisation process.

Dato’ Mohamad Razali Othman

Key topics covered by the Technical Report include:

• Project Development and Implementation• Legal and Regulatory Framework

• Financing

• Traffic Forecasting

• Engineering Consideration

• Environment and Social Issues

• Procurement

• Construction

• Operation and maintenance

• Risk management

The Guide, in its introduction defined privatisation as a process of transferring ownership of a business from thepublic sector to the private sector. One example of privatisation is the privatisation of tolled expressways andhighways, which has become an important tool in the development of a nation’s road transport infrastructure.

This Guide describes key issues that all projects associated with the privatisation of expressways and highwaysshould address. Stakeholders intending to embark on a project can use this Guide to assist them in the implementationand evaluation of projects, to ensure that key issues are addressed properly.

It should be noted that, in Malaysia, all expressways and highways that incur tolls are privately owned and this is thecase in all countries. However, many of the issues addressed in this Guide are also applicable to government-ownedexpressways and highways, even though users of these facilities do not pay a toll.

A standard format is being used for this first technical report. The format developed by REAAA Technical Committee

Chairman Mr.Kieran Sharp will also be used for future technical reports.REAAA is planning to publish another two technical reports or compendia on: `Disaster Risk Management` and`Efficient Operations of Road Network` in the near future.




REAAA TO FORMALISE TIESWITH PIARC

REAAA has begun to formalise ties with the World Road Association (PIARC). The matter was discussed at the 86 th meeting of the REAAA Governing Council in Perth in October 2008.

In June 2008, Mr. Franck Charmaison, PIARC Deputy Secretary General, and Dr Hiroshi Mitani, Honorary Presidentof PIARC, attended the 85th REAAA Council Meeting in Tokyo to begin work towards establishing a cooperativeagreement between the two organisations.

The following topics were proposed by PIARC for consideration by REAAA:

• Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between REAAA and PIARC

• Co-sponsoring of PIARC International Seminars

• Special issue of PIARC Routes/Roads devoted to REAAA.

Sub-Committee To Prepare MoU

The REAAA Governing Council, at its 86th Meeting in Perth in October 2008, has set up a sub-committeecharged with preparing a draft MoU for approval by Council. Mr. Gary Liddle of Australia is to chair the sub-committee with other members comprising Malaysia (Dato Mohamad Husin), Japan (Mr. Asao Yamakawa) andKorea (Dr. Jeong-Gyu Kang).

Both parties agreed that the MoU signed in 2001 needs a full revision as it no longer reflects PIARC’s modeof operation. The MoU is proposed to be revised according to this new framework and aimed at promotingsynergy and formalise relations between REAAA and PIARC, by addressing the following issues:

• Aim

• Representation to board meetings (mutual)

• Strategic plans (coherence)

• Co-ordination of work (priorities >> common groups)

• Websites (links)

• Joint activities (conferences, events, etc.)• Monitoring (yearly)

• Duration (no time limit)

Mr. Gary Liddle (right) has been oppointed the Chairman of a sub-committeecharged with preparing a draft MoU between REAAA and PIARC.




Co-Sponsoring of PIARC International Seminars

PIARC International Seminars are conducted in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.The aim is to facilitate the networking of experts from these countries with experts from the rest of the world and, as a

result, to enhance knowledge transfer. These International Seminars are planned at a regional level in order to reachnot only experts in the host country but also from neighbouring countries.

For the next series of seminars, PIARC wishes to work closer with regional organisations such as REAAA, as it didsuccessfully with similar organisations in Africa and Latin America. REAAA would be given the opportunity to co-sponsor seminars to be conducted in REAAA member countries.

The expectation is that REAAA would:

• encourage the preparation of contributions to seminars in the countries in the region

• assist in the dissemination of information regarding the seminar in their country

• facilitate whenever possible the participation of local experts in the seminars.

Mr. Liddle urged Council members and countries in the region to contact the REAAA International Coordination

Committee for any proposals to host a PIARC International Seminar.

Special Issue of Routes/Roads

PIARC has offered to dedicate the July 2009 edition of Routes/Roads to issues within REAAA member countries inthe Asia and Australasia region. The theme `Managing Road Assets for Community Outcomes`, has been endorsedby the REAAA Governing Council. It is anticipated that this magazine will be made available to participants at the13th REAAA conference in Seoul in September 2009.

The REAAA Secretariat has written to all Council members inviting them to nominate contributions to thisspecial edition of Routes/Roads. A draft version of the text should be submitted by 1 December 2008, with thefinal version required by 16 Jan. 2009.

Contributions must be written in either English or French. The abstracts and full papers are to be sent to KieranSharp, Chair REAAA Technical Committee, via email ([email protected]) and copied to MichelleBaran, the Australasian Technical Adviser at the PIARC General-Secretariat ([email protected]).

10 papers may be needed for this publication. Among the countries which have pledged to contributepapers are Australia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore. The pledge was made at the 86 th Council meeting in Perth. Efforts are being made to approach other countries to contribute articles for this

publication.
