Safer Local Roads and Streets Project

The Safe Local Roads and Streets Program is designed to assist councils in planning and investing in key infrastructure improvements aimed at enhancing the safety of local roads. The program will be delivered with $2 million in funding from the State Government, provided through the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). TAC will collaborate closely with local governments to support the planning, design, and delivery of Safe System infrastructure projects, ensuring that these improvements lead to safer roads for all users.
