Between 40 and 50 participants from across Perth attended PATREC's 1st annual Research Forum at Curtin's Graduate School of Business on 3 October 2005. The forum will be an 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 70 participants and invited guests attended a social reception at the same venue.
C Y O'Connor Prize   

Winner of the Inaugural C.Y. O'Connor Prize for 2005 (awarded at the forum)

Abridged Presentation: Preliminary investigation of benchmarking the safety culture of the Australian rail industry.(30 MBytes)

The C.Y. O’Connor Prize, awarded for the best presentation 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.

The C.Y. O'Connor Prize is proudly sponsored by Fremantle Ports.
