The Australian Pavement Recycling and Stabilisation Conference (APRSC), which was scheduled to take place on 29th July 2020, has now been cancelled. In addition, other associated activities will also be cancelled, including the golf competition and informal dinner scheduled for Tuesday 28th July and the AustStab Gala Dinner and Awards Night scheduled for Wednesday 29th July.

As a result, AustStab Awards of Excellence will be awarded for 2020. This means that Award nominations are now closed, as is the conference Call for Papers. AustStab thanks those who have submitted conference abstracts and awards nominations and will be in touch to discuss the possibility of their resubmission in 2021.
