At Trafficwerx NT, we are proud to have played a small part in supporting an incredible event—the Variety NT Bash Top End Trek. As sponsors of the Tonka Tow car, we were honoured to contribute to the amazing efforts of Variety NT, which raised an incredible $283,101.04 across all teams this year.
Variety NT works tirelessly to help children in need across the Northern Territory, providing vital support and life-changing opportunities. The Top End Trek is just one of the many ways they bring the community together for a great cause, and we are humbled to be involved through our sponsorship of Tonka Tow.
One of the highlights of the event was Orange Day, and we couldn’t resist adding some extra fun by kitting out the Tonka Tow team in traffic cone outfits! It was a fantastic way to raise awareness for road safety while embracing the spirit of the bash. Our team looked the part and had a great time representing safety in a colourful, lighthearted way.
We were also honoured to receive a certificate of appreciation from Variety NT for our involvement. While our contribution was small, we’re proud to have been part of such a meaningful cause and to support the amazing work that Variety NT does.
We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the participants, donors, and volunteers who made this year’s trek such a success. Your dedication ensures that Variety NT can continue their important work.

On the 18th of July, the Traffic Management Association of Australia Northern Territory (TMAA NT) and the Civil Contractors Federation Northern Territory (CCF NT) had the distinct pleasure of co-hosting a dynamic breakfast event with the Hon. Joel Bowden, Northern Territory’s Minister for Infrastructure, Planning, and Logistics. The event, a true gathering of minds, showcased the collaborative spirit of the NT’s civil construction and traffic management sectors.
A Word from the Minister
Minister Bowden captivated the audience with his valuable insights into the key projects currently underway and those on the horizon in the Northern Territory. His recognition of the vital role played by the civil construction and traffic management sectors in the region’s development was particularly heartening. Minister Bowden’s remarks underscored the importance of our work and provided a clear vision of the growth and opportunities ahead.
Key Contributions and Future Directions
In addition to Minister Bowden, the breakfast featured informative presentations from notable industry figures. Patsy Thomas of Austroads and Sean Stieber from the Department of Infrastructure, Planning, and Logistics shared their perspectives on the rollout of the Nationally Harmonised Framework for Temporary Traffic Management in the Territory. Their insights into this framework were invaluable, highlighting the efforts to ensure safety and efficiency in traffic management practices across the NT.
This event would not have been possible without the collaborative efforts of our partners. A big thank you goes to Tom Harris from CCF NT for co-organising the meeting. The turnout from our NT Members was impressive, demonstrating the strong community and commitment to progress within our industry.
The morning was not only informative but also fostered a sense of camaraderie among attendees. From left to right in the group photo, we had Douglas Core (TMAA NT Vice Chair), Tom Harris (CCF NT CEO), the Hon. Joel Bowden, our very own Chris Boyer (TMAA NT Chair and National Board Member), and Matthew Bereni (TMAA CEO). Their presence symbolised the unity and dedication driving our industry forward.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who attended and contributed to the success of this event. The insights shared and connections made will undoubtedly propel our sectors towards a bright and prosperous future.

Our NT Chairperson, Chris Boyer, recently attended the Tasmania Launch of National Road Safety Week in Hobart. Alongside esteemed figures like Peter Frazer, President of SARAH Group, and government representatives, Chris emphasised the theme “All road safety is local – Drive So Others Survive.” It’s a reminder of our individual roles in making roads safer for all.
The yellow ribbon isn’t simply a symbol; it’s a heartfelt tribute to lives lost and affected by road accidents. As part of National Road Safety Week NRSW, SARAH Group encourages us to drive responsibly, ensuring every journey prioritises safety. Let’s honour the past and protect the future by driving so others survive.
In March, Trafficwerx NT had the privilege of meeting Peter Rubinstein and Peter Fraser, dedicated individuals enhancing road safety in Australia. Their commitment to responsible driving inspires us all, highlighting the importance of collaboration in creating safer roads.
We pledge to drive as if our loved ones are on the road ahead. This pledge encompasses removing distractions, never using mobile phones while driving, avoiding risky behaviours like speeding or driving under the influence, and protecting vulnerable road users.
National Road Safety Week colouring sheets offer a creative way to discuss road safety with young ones. Through fun designs and discussions about safe road practices, we empower children with the knowledge they need to stay safe.
Whether personally or professionally, displaying the yellow ribbon symbolises commitment to road safety. Join us in spreading the message to drive so others survive by proudly wearing the ribbon and being part of the movement for safer roads.
As National Road Safety Week concludes, let’s remember that road safety is a continuous responsibility. Our NRSW merchandise will be available throughout May, encouraging ongoing awareness. Together, through creative outlets and visual reminders, we can drive change and make road safety conversations easier.
Trafficwerx NT emphasises its dedication to promoting road safety and supporting initiatives like National Road Safety Week and the SARAH Group. Through collaboration and commitment, we can create safer roads for everyone. Please take the pledge and join us in a commitment for safer roads, now, during NRSW, and always.
Black Dog Ride is an annual motorcycle event that aims to destigmatise mental health issues and spark open conversations about mental wellbeing. Their rides bring communities together, fostering a supportive environment while raising funds for mental health initiatives.
Year after year, Trafficwerx NT proudly stands alongside Black Dog Ride Darwin, offering our expertise in creating Traffic Management Plans for their events. Our volunteer work ensures that these rides are not only safe but also successful in spreading their vital message.
Mental health awareness is crucial, especially in regions like the Northern Territory where support resources can be limited. By partnering with Black Dog Ride, we’re actively contributing to breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraging individuals to seek help when needed.
You can be a part of this impactful movement too. Whether you’re a motorcycle enthusiast or simply passionate about mental health advocacy, there are numerous ways to get involved with Black Dog Ride. Join their annual rides, volunteer your time, or donate to support their cause. Every contribution counts towards creating a brighter, more mentally healthy future for all.
Participating in Black Dog Ride or supporting their initiatives isn’t just about raising awareness; it’s about making a tangible difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health challenges. By amplifying their message and providing resources for suicide prevention, we’re actively saving lives and offering hope to those who need it most.
Keep an eye out for Winston, the huge inflatable black dog, at events around Darwin this dry season. Winston promotes the Black Dog Ride charity and serves as a symbol of hope and support for those battling mental health issues.
