RoadWise Council

The Shire of Northam has committed to adopting and applying policies and practices that make an effective and sustainable contribution to improving road safety for our community, by registering as a RoadWise Council.

RoadWise Councils is an initiative of the WA Local Government Association (WALGA) through which our Shire will work towards implementing best practice, evidence-based road safety initiatives aimed at creating a safer local road network.

By applying the safe system approach, we are looking beyond existing practices towards systematically planning and designing a sustainable and inherently safe road transport system for all road users in our community.

With support from WALGA’s team of road safety experts, the Shire of Northam will be progressing its works to ensure road safety is considered at all levels.

If you would like more information about RoadWise please contact Ms Tracey Peacock, Road Safety Advisor (WALGA) on 0477 272 466
