A key feature of the 2002 – 2005 TDL Industry Action Plan was the establishment of a unique and powerful collaborative partnership between industry and Government.

It included initiatives to strengthen cooperation and consultation between the Victorian Government, industry, TDL businesses and their customers by establishing a peak consultative body and industry reference bodies. This high level collaborative partnership is comprised of four key elements:

1. Victorian Supply Chain Consultative Group (VSCCG)
The VSCCG links the Ministers of three Victorian Government portfolios and their departments with peak TDL industry associations, companies and customers. It provides the mechanism for the TDL industry to address Ministers on a broad range of issues and provides insights into the challenges confronted by the industry and the issues and directions Government needs to consider. The three Ministers are:

• Minister for State and Regional Development
• Minister for Transport
• Minister for Education and Training

2. TDL Industry Round Table
The TDL IRT is where future direction for key policy issues are raised and discussed so that a well considered and cohesive industry viewpoint can be formed. The TDL IRT reports directly to the Victorian Supply Chain Consultative Group. Its representation comes from a broad range of TDL industry associations and three Victorian Government Departments.

The TDL IRT is also responsible for establishing; supporting and focusing the various Partner Reference Groups and the Regional Round Tables.

Here is the current membership structure:
