Main Roads Western Australia has implemented the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) rating process for major projects, which requires the quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions and other sustainability impacts. The IS Materials Calculator can be used for standard pavement technologies.

The National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACOE) in Queensland and WARRIP identified an opportunity to improve on existing life cycle assessment tools, with a focus on providing an enhanced capability to inform decisions regarding material selection and design, maintenance treatments, and end-use options. The Sustainability Assessment Tool for Pavements (SAT4P) developed through this joint project is a user-friendly, web-based, sustainability assessment tool to enable consistent and reliable quantification and comparison of lifecycle sustainability and economic impacts of pavements.
