In a recent community-facing update, the Shire of Harvey reaffirmed its commitment to road safety. By showcasing road safety as a core part of its work, the Shire highlighted the actions that are supporting its progression towards the delivery of better practice road safety.

In addition to celebrating its 5 Ribbon status under the 2025 RoadWise Recognised initiative, an accomplishment which reflects a holistic approach to road safety with action delivered across the organisation, the promotional update outlined:

What has been delivered: a range of actions implemented across the organisation, demonstrating a coordinated and holistic approach to road safety.

What is being progressed: priority initiatives aimed at embedding road safety and best practice into governance, planning and operational decision making, while also establishing a way to monitor results.

What is working: evidence-based actions that are contributing to reductions in serious injuries and fatalities across the local network and building understanding of effective road safety initiatives.

Effective road safety promotion involves the ongoing and deliberate communication of road safety as a strategic priority, embedded in governance, policy and operational practice. By leveraging its communication channels, the Shire is creating opportunities to generate broader road safety awareness and deliver greater benefits for its community.

Publicly showcasing actions that are proven to work and establishing transparent ways to monitor road safety progress, supports both internal decision-making and community expectations – ultimately driving systemic change and contributing to reduced road trauma.
