RoadWise Recognised Awards 2025

Recognising Excellence in Road Safety

During the WALGA Local Government Awards night on Saturday, 19 July, 75 RoadWise Councils were acknowledged with a 2025 Ribbon status for their commitment to work towards better practice road safety.

The Ribbon status reflects how holistically the road safety action, recorded as part of the RoadWise Recognised initiative, is applied across the organisation.
