WALGA and IPWEA WA are delighted to announce the recipients of the 2023 Local Government Road Safety Awards.
The Awards are a joint initiative between WALGA’s RoadWise and the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia – WA division and celebrate Local Governments who work to improve road safety.
Local Governments have a key role in applying the safe system approach to road safety and working towards creating a road network where no one is seriously injured or killed because of a crash. Road safety is important to the community and an area where Local Governments can be influential leaders.
The Awards seek to acknowledge road safety initiatives and projects that work towards strengthening all parts of the road network, while motivating and enabling knowledge sharing across Local Governments.
The City of Canning, Shire of Toodyay, Shire of Leonora, Shire of Manjimup and City of Greater Geraldton were recognised today for their work in road safety.
