Abstract

In 2001 the MAA of NSW funded the development of a Road Safety Strategic Plan for the Motorcycle Council of NSW (MCC). This paper describes the benefits of the development process and an account of the subsequent implementation of the plan. The process enabled members of the MCC to develop a better understanding of how road safety is delivered in NSW including the relationships between the key agencies and their roles. The outcome has been to establish more productive relationships between other road safety stakeholders and the motorcycling community. Two years since the process began there is an impressive list of achievements, which may be linked either directly or indirectly to the strategic plan. These include research projects into motorcycle fatigue and protective clothing, a motorcycle road safety web site, the first state funded motorcycle safety advertising campaign, community based motorcycle safety projects with some 15 local councils, and the incorporation of motorcycle safety issues into the road safety strategy plans of many local councils.
