Industry Advisory Council Leverages Insights and Sets Automotive Priorities

(Main): Leader of the State Liberal Party David Speirs.

The MTA’s peak policy-making body, the Industry Advisory Council, met for the final time in 2022 last November where it was joined by Leader of the Opposition David Speirs.

The Liberal Party Leader outlined his vision for the automotive sector and importantly also heard the priorities of our members. This included questions on energy and power prices, apprentice training funding and the ongoing role automotive retail, service and repair businesses play in the South Australian economy. Given recent public discussions on vehicle safety, the ability for members to informally discuss and meet with Vincent Tarzia, the Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, was also well received.

The next Industry Advisory Council meeting will be held later this month.
