Regional Road Safety Strategy

The Eastern Downs Regional Road Group (based in the Toowoomba Regional Council area) has undertaked this road safety partnership project in conjunction with the Roads Alliance.

The idea behind this project is to achieve greater road safety through improvements in road user behaviour and engineering.

A public consultation period was held in March this year, and feedback has been incorporated into the final strategy.

The outcomes achieved by this project were:

• Identification of key road safety initiatives;
• The development of a Regional Road Safety Strategy and action plan for the Toowoomba Regional Council / Eastern Downs Regional Road Group area; (see below in related documents); and
• Council now intends to appoint a Road Safety Officer to coordinate road safety across the region.
