City of Rockingham

What a team! Earlier this month we were recognised with a Most Active RoadWise Council award at the 2024 WA Local Government Association (WALGA) Local Government Awards.   We're committed to achieving zero fatal and serious injury crashes in our road network, so we have developed an ambitious road safety management plan that incorporates both reactive and proactive actions, including extensive community education.   Congratulations and thanks to all the efforts of everyone involved in helping us to keep our "eyes on the road".
