Offsite Tours 2023

Explore fire protection, as performed by others. Get a behind-the-scenes look at major infrastructure to see what systems keep thousands of people safe every day.

Following the Fire Australia 2023 Conference program, the tours will give delegates an opportunity to see systems and learn about strategies in situ, rather than just through a presentation.

This year’s offsite tours will provide an inside look into sporting and conference facilities, infrastructure, and bushfire management.

Westconnex Control Room

WestConnex is Australia’s largest road infrastructure project and is a critical part of Sydney’s transport network. 

When complete in 2023, it will provide motorists with a continuous, 33km traffic-light free motorway network, with connections for future projects linking the north shore and northern beaches, Sydney Airport and the southern suburbs.
