The Safe System approach has been adopted by all Australian jurisdictions as the guiding principle for delivering road safety outcomes and a guiding framework has been included in the National Road Safety Action Plan since 2005 – 2006. Despite this, the understanding of the Safe System approach and the application of it by local government to the local road network is low. A workshop, facilitated by ARRB Group and WALGA, was held at the conclusion of the 2010 Australasian Road Safety Research, Policing and Education Conference held at the National Convention Centre in Canberra, ACT. This Research Report has been prepared to collate the material presented at the workshop and to summarise the discussion and contributions of the participants so others in local government or agencies who deal and work with local government can gain an appreciation of the Safe System approach and issues for local government road safety initiatives and action.
