Local farmers, contract harvesters, couriers, truck drivers and transport company operators are invited to attend.
Council Road Safety and Injury Prevention Officer, Melanie Suitor, who is organising the forum, said this year's event will focus on heavy vehicle access, safety, compliance, industry case studies and more.
"Since its inception in 2012, the breakfast forum has brought together the local freight industry to discuss issues affecting them," Ms Suitor said.
"This year participants will hear updates about heavy vehicle access from NHVR and Transport for NSW. Divall's Earthmoving and Bulk Haulage will share a case study about their training program.
"NSW Police will discuss the results of Operation Convoy along with some general road rule reminders and SafeWork NSW will provide an overview of their work in the sector. Westlime and NHVR will also provide a local case study about collaboration.
"Come along to listen, learn and ask questions of industry experts from NHVR, Transport for NSW, Divall's Earthmoving and Bulk Haulage, NSW Police, SafeWork NSW and Westlime," Ms Suitor said.
