AustStab was setup in 1995 by specialist stabilising contractors, who wished to raise the awareness of stabilisation in the industry. The main emphasis was to promote the recycling of pavements, the need was seen due to expertise in stabilisation being in pockets of Australia.
AustStab continues to offer collaboration with all state road agencies and many councils. This includes formulation of specifications, running courses throughout the country as well as publishing the latest information on stabilisation.
