I congratulate Catherine Field resident David Stuart‑Watt, who has been recognised as a Member of the Order of Australia for his significant service to the civil infrastructure and transport industry. With nearly 50 years in the industry, David has played a key role in shaping Australia's roads and transport networks. A civil engineer since 1975, he held leadership roles, including president of Roads Australia from 2010 to 2019. He now chairs the fellowship mentoring program and also visits me on occasion to give updates and advice on local traffic issues. His impact extends across both the public and private sectors, having worked in senior executive roles in a number of organisations. His expertise has played a critical role in infrastructure planning, road safety and regulatory reforms, making our roads safer and more efficient for all users. His dedication to the industry and commitment to mentoring future leaders have left a lasting legacy. The recognition is a testament to his contributions and leadership. Congratulations to David on this well‑deserved honour.
