Registered RoadWise Councils

Seventy-five (75) Local Governments, spread across rural, remote and metropolitan areas of WA are registered as a RoadWise Council. These Councils work with a dedicated Road Safety Advisor to plan, deliver, evaluate and communicate local road safety actions, guided by the RoadWise Framework, to better apply Safe System practices and principles.
