The National Road Safety to 2010 strategy, aims to reduce the number of national road deaths per year to no more than 300 and hospitalisations to no more than 4,500 by 2010. It is a general framework that provides guidance, rationale and direction for actions to be taken to achieve the desired road safety goals.

While Council makes every endeavour to provide a safe roading environment, we are unable to monitor the network 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Often we are unaware of crashes that have happened in the district, so we can’t carry out any necessary remedial works (repairing signage etc) straight away.

If you are involved in or witness a crash, please complete a Traffic Crash Report so we can identify potentially dangerous spots on our roading network and address them to prevent further crashes occurring.

By reporting a crash you will not be getting anyone into trouble, as we do not ask for any personal details of the driver or car registration. The only details we are interested in is anything that could help us identify necessary changes that could improve the safety of our district roads - such as the location, road type etc.
