W

hen Nick Fisher joined
the VicRoads team at
the start of 2004, the
agency was known for a handful of
vital but standard functions. Beyond
the licenses and registrations it
issues, most customers knew
VicRoads primarily as a road builder.
“That was its business,” he explains.
“Pretty much every solution
VicRoads offered as a core group of

engineers was to build its way out of

congestion or traffic problems.”

More than a decade into the

future, Fisher has risen through the

ranks to his current role of Director

of Road Operations, and Victoria’s

roads agency has evolved as well

in both vision and scope. With its

latest efforts, VicRoads aims to

ensure that customer journeys

are safe, reliableand enjoyable
