Projects/Issues

Integrated Transport Advisory Group (ITAG)
ITAG considers all traffic, parking and road safety issues brought to Council’s attention by residents and community groups, with an emphasis on road safety. The Council considers a preliminary report on the issues involved and generally refers the matter to the Advisory Group for further consideration. The Group in turn invites the residents who initially raised the matter to attend an Advisory Group meeting. The Group is able to get a first hand understanding of the residents concerns and looks at possible solutions. If a tentative solution is agreed at the meeting a recommendation is presented to Council, and if approved, it then goes out to wider public consultation. As the residents are involved early, and are part of the solution, the process generally results in a positive outcome.

Child car restraints
The City of Vincent has been working with the WALGA RoadWise Program, to ensure that child car restraints are fitted correctly by running individual child car restraint checks.

Drink driving
With the increasing popularity of the Leederville, Mt Lawley, Highgate, Perth and Mt Hawthorn entertainment areas, the issue of drink driving has become more evident. The City through the Vincent Accord has been working with licensed premises to address this issue and educate patrons on the dangers of drink driving.

Please Slow Down, Consider Our Kids
The City of Vincent participates in the 'Please Slow Down, Consider our Kids' bin sticker project. The bin stickers are only displayed one day a week on the street in an effort to reduce the chance that the motorist will become accustomed to their presence. They provide an opportunity for householders to actively address motorist speeding in their street and aim to reduce travel speeds.　 

Reduced travel speeds
The Town has been actively working with Main Roads WA to trial new speed reduction strategies, such as the variable speed zone in Beaufort Street, Mt Lawley, the 30km speed zone in Oxford Street, Leederville and ‘speed cushions’ in Fitzgerald Street, North Perth.
