Our Board
The RIAA Board plays a vital role in setting the direction of the Association and making sure we stay focused on what matters most — supporting members and strengthening the roadmarking industry.
Our Board is made up of representatives from across RIAA’s membership, bringing together a mix of experience from contracting, manufacturing, supply and industry leadership. Every Director acts in a voluntary capacity, giving their time, knowledge and industry insight to represent members and guide the long-term strategy of the Association. They’re here because they care about the industry and want to see it continue to lift standards, stay connected and move forward together.
The Board’s role is to provide strategic leadership and governance. This includes setting priorities, overseeing advocacy efforts, supporting industry initiatives and ensuring RIAA remains a strong, credible voice with government, road authorities and key stakeholders. While the Board sets the direction, it also works closely with management to make sure decisions are practical, achievable and aligned with the real-world needs of members.
Day-to-day operations of the Association are managed by a Secretariat and a small administrative team. This team is responsible for delivering member services, managing communications, coordinating events, supporting committees and keeping the Association running smoothly. They are the engine room behind RIAA, ensuring members receive timely support, clear information and value from their membership.
Together, the Board and Secretariat form a strong partnership — combining strategic oversight with hands-on delivery — to ensure RIAA continues to serve its members, grow its community and advocate effectively for the roadmarking industry.
Below are the profiles of RIAA’s Directors, who proudly represent the membership and contribute to the ongoing success of the Association.

Scott’s Vision for the RIAA is to help to contribute to increased communication between Industry Contractors/Suppliers and Road Marking Authorities and to create and or participate in opportunities for Industry to influence Road Authorities in matters such as standards, specifications, quality safety and contract development.
Retro Roads, formerly known as Peel Line Marking, has extensive experience and is capable of serving all your designs, lines and signs requirements. We will explain how.
Retro Roads is a family owned and operated business established in 1996. The business was formed in response to the demand for a local pavement marking service provider to the Southern Metropolitan region. Glenn and Tina not only filled the gap in the market, they also built a company with a reputation that reflects their commitment to quality and integrity. Through our rapid growth over recent years, the core values of the business have not been compromised. After 25 years in the industry, Retro Roads continues to deliver quality works at competitive prices.
Retro Roads does not claim to be the cheapest pavement marking service provider. We are however, great value for money. Retro Roads does not just seek to meet expectations, we exceed them. We believe this is what makes us a leading company in our industry, not just in the Southern Region, but across Western Australia.
