Community Road Safety Strategy 2025-2029

Moorabool Shire Council plays an important role in providing a safe travel environment for residents and visitors. A key part of this role includes the implementation of activities directed at reducing the likelihood and severity of road accidents and influencing driver behaviour by working in partnership with key road safety bodies and community groups.

The current Community Road Safety Strategy 2020-2024 is now due to be renewed.  This project will see the development of a new four-year Community Road Safety Strategy outlining key priority actions to assist in promoting safe travel with the aim of reducing serious injuries and fatalities within the municipality and providing a structured approach to guide Council in delivering projects and initiatives that meet the needs of the growing community. The strategy will assist Council to continue to create safer local roads by enhancing knowledge and education, increasing engagement, identifying road and roadside infrastructure improvements and working closely with road safety partners and the community.

Community input is a vital component of the project and residents and visitors are strongly encouraged to provide feedback via the online survey before Sunday 27 July 2025 to help identify road safety issues within the shire.  

Council will conduct an assessment of technical data and further targeted consultation,  following completion of this engagement a number of community sessions will be held to present the data and provide a further opportunity to have input into suggested treatments and/or improvement actions.
