In 2022, the CICA Board recognised Jon Dunn with an Excellence Award for his contribution to changes with Work Safe Victoria.

In 2022, the CICA Board recognised Simon Buxton with an Excellence Award. Simon and the Department of State Growth team stood out for the development, implementation and proliferation of the Heavy Vehicle Access Management System.
This innovative work has provided enormous benefit to the crane industry through the significant reduction in need for road access permits as well as transparency and certainty in road access. Along with a large reduction in resources required for the crane industry, the Heavy Vehicle Access Management System has afforded greater flexibility in crane selection and enabled the crane industry to service the community more efficiently.
