LG TRRIP is a partnership between WALGA, Main Roads WA and the National Transport Research Organisation and is funded through the State Road Funds to Local Government Agreement . The objective is to undertake research and provide guidance to Local Governments that has practical and economic benefit. The program prioritises projects that focus on roads and pavements, road safety, asset management, recycled materials and sustainability, transport and bridges.
The following projects have been completed:
- Design and Construction guideline for the use of crushed recycled concrete in local roads
- Guideline for the use of RAP and crumbed rubber in asphalt roads
- Guideline for the use of crumbed rubber modified bitumen in sprayed seal applications
- A catalogue of standard pavement profiles for local roads
- Low-cost road safety improvements for rural Local Government roads in WA
- Considerations for Sealing Local Government Roads in WA
- Sustainable road construction practices for Local Government roads in WA.
The projects provide an easy-to-use practical guideline and a more detailed technical report. The reports and webinars can be downloaded for free from the LG TRRIP website.
We encourage Local Government practitioners to get involved by nominating topics for program consideration or volunteering to help manage the development of projects. Nominations can be submitted from the website.
