In 2010, Rob Heywood completed a number of highly successful visits to Karratha, Port Hedland, Darwin & Alice Springs. Rob’s seminar on “Forensic Engineering” was well received and appreciated by these regional areas. The board recognizes the difficulty in providing regional CPD, and Rob’s willingness to respond accordingly has been appreciated.
