Specification Upgrade from Queensland TMR

The Standard Specifications Roads suite has been re-released via the TMR website on 25 February 2014.

This release marks a major milestone in TMRâ€™s electronic documents.
All specifications now feature substantially improved usability and have been upgraded to the current TMR templates. Other enhancements include:

* Specifications have been grouped into five categories to simplify navigation; and
