Draft Road Safety Plan
Consultation has concluded
We are committed to promoting a culture of shared responsibility for road safety.
Our vision for road safety is for Sutherland Shire to be recognised as a safe travel environment for all road users.
Our Draft Road Safety Plan supports programs to change road user behaviour in order to improve the safety and efficiency of the road network.
It follows the Safe Systems approach which takes a holistic view of road safety. It includes four elements: safe roads, safe speeds, safe vehicles and safe people.
We cannot prevent all road crashes. However, we can all help to reduce the incidence of death, serious injury and the impact of road trauma to the community by embracing a culture of safe behaviour on our roads.

Road Safety Plan Adopted
Council reviewed all feedback and made some minor updates to the plan. It was then finalised and presented to the Infrastructure Committee on 27 October 2025 for consideration and adopted.
The report and minutes of this meeting are available here.
The Bike Plan was also adopted by Councillors in December 2025. A key outcome informed by consultation feedback has been the development of an evolving e-bike education campaign, identified as a priority action under the Road Safety Plan.
