Road safety

Surf Coast Shire has a Road Safety Strategy that guides our overall approach to road safety and works together with the Safer Cycling Strategy and Pathways Strategy. Our approach to Road Safety is built around the safe system approach developed by road safety agencies across Australia over the past two decades.

Road Safety Strategy 2022-2027

Surf Coast Shire Council has adopted a five-year plan to improve road safety, while sharing the state and federal government goal of zero road fatalities and injuries by 2050.
