Abstract

In 1995 a significant change occurred in the way in which road funding in Western Australia was allocated. Through a partnership between Main Roads WA (State Government) and the Western Australian Local Government Association (Local Government) a structure of ten regional groupings of Councils was formulated. Each grouping to be known as Regional Road Groups (RRG's) would have a say in where the limited road funding dollars were allocated in exchange for more accountability and transparency. Some six years later the W.A Local Government Association (WALGA) was convinced that there was a need for the development of a higher level of regional transport co-ordination and believed that could occur by taking the RRG's to the "next level" from Roads to a more integrated approach to Transport Infrastructure. WALGA was keen to test this broader approach and made a submission for Local Government Incentive Program (LGIP) funding to undertake a pilot program designed to expand the scope and engagement of Local Governments role in regional transport infrastructure planning and co-ordination.
