Fremantle Ports and the
Transport Authority are pleased to
sponsor this unique event.
Nearly 70 participants from across Perth attended the forum, which is fast becoming the premier annual event to
discuss the findings of research on issues in urban land use/transport interaction, environment and transport,
transport safety and security and freight logistics and infrastructure. Forum participants and presentations
represented a wide spectrum of interests including commercial property development, property finance, professional
consulting and contract management, government and academia. Following the all day forum, over 100 invited guests
and forum participants attended an evening social reception at the same venue. His Excellency Dr Ken Michael AC,

C Y O'Connor Prize
The C.Y. O’Connor Prize, awarded for the best paper presented at the Annual
PATREC Research Forum, honours an important figure in the history of Australian transport
infrastructure development. Charles Yelverton O’Connor (1843-1902) was Western Australia’s
Chief Engineer and Acting Manager of Railways from 1891 at a time when the young colony was
growing rapidly and needed bold leadership to plan and execute major new infrastructure. He
was responsible for establishing much of the State’s early rail network, including the Midland
Railway Workshops, completed in 1905, and of a protected harbour at Fremantle. He was also
responsible for the bold conception, design and construction of the 600 km Goldfields water
pipeline. Wrongly accused of corruptly benefiting from public works contracts, he took his
own life on the beach south of Fremantle. For further information please refer to this
brochure kindly provided by the
Kalgoorlie Goldfields Visitor Centre.
Please Note: Only one prize will be awarded per paper irrespective of multiple authors.
The presenter(s) will receive the award on behalf of all authors.
The C.Y. O'Connor Prize is proudly sponsored by Fremantle Ports and the Public
Transport Authority.
