Summary The Bunbury RoadWise Committee has been requested to consider a representative from the South West Youth Driver Development Program (SWYDDP) as a permanent member of the Committee in lieu of Susie Delaporte resignation. The change from nominated individual to nominated organisation enables and assists in obtaining a committee quorum.

Executive Recommendation 1. That the Bunbury RoadWise Committee accepts the resignation of Susie Delaporte and thank

her for her time on the committee.

2. That the Bunbury RoadWise Committee request that Council approve the inclusion of a representative from the South West Youth Driver Development Program as a permanent position on the Bunbury RoadWise Committee.

Strategic Relevance Theme 1 Our Community and culture. Goal A safe, healthy and cohesive community, with a rich cultural life, and

WALGA RoadWise South West Region Report March/April 2018

This year the WALGA RoadWise annual Easter road safety campaign, Blessing of the Roads, is encouraging support for a zero-focused vision where we all work together to demonstrate that road trauma is preventable. With Easter being a four-day weekend many people will travel long distances to visit family, friends or holiday destinations. This year the Blessing of the Roads campaign provides an opportunity for Local Governments and RoadWise Committees to ask the community what is an acceptable level of road trauma. By posing this question we are challenging the idea that road trauma is inevitable and in turn, generate support and participation in local road safety initiatives. It is these local road safety initiatives that contribute to preventing road trauma. WALGA’s RoadWise is encouraging everyone to get involved in the campaign to show that by working together we can achieve the long-term vision of zero deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

Visit the RoadWise website for more information and to download a copy of the Blessing of the Roads campaign kit; http://www.roadwise.asn.au/blessing-of-the-roads.aspx. The City of Mandurah, Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes and Shire of Manjimup are planning Blessing of the Roads events in the week prior to Easter. City of Bunbury and Shire of Capel are also planning Easter road safety campaign messages. If Local Government or community groups would like to hold an event please contact Nicky Smith, South West Road Safety Advisor, on 9792 7078 or [email protected].

Towards Zero means we do not accept that any human being should die or be seriously injured on our roads.

The M8 the call can W8 campaign is being expanded for Youth Week 2018. The theme is “Take Your Selfie Here, Not on the Road” with M8 the call can W8 coreflute selfie frames at local youth events and activities in the region. Nine Local Governments in the South West are receiving a selfie frame for Youth Week 2018. These M8 the call can W8 selfie frames can then be loaned to local youth groups or utilised as part of School Drug Education and Road Aware (SDERA) Keys for Life program in local high schools on an ongoing basis with the hashtag #m8thecallcanw8. City of Bunbury are holding The Shift 2018 youth event on Sunday 15 April at the Koombana Foreshore. Bunbury RoadWise in partnership with South West Youth Driver Development Program (SWYDDP) will be there with a Kombi Van Photo Booth for young people to take their photo and receive a mobile phone pouch or bumper sticker once they sign a mobile phone use pledge. SWYDDP received a Government of Western Australia Road Safety Community Grant to support the event.

New SLOMO (Slow Down, Move Over) laws will take effect from 2 March 2018 to provide a safer environment for workers who respond to incidents on the road. The SLOMO law requires drivers to reduce their speed when approaching a stationary emergency or incident response vehicle and pass at a maximum speed of 40kmh. It also requires the driver to move over or change lanes where possible and if safe to do so. Incident response vehicles include those used by WA Police Force, Department of Fire and Emergency Services and St John Ambulance.

In Western Australia from 2012 to 2016 there were 43 casualties involving people in emergency lanes and those working on the roadside. The penalty for failing to obey the new law is $300 and three demerit points. The introduction of SLOMO will be monitored and an evaluation conducted by the Road Safety Commission. Bunbury RoadWise is planning to do a local media promotion of the new laws with a media release and photo opportunity with local emergency services.

Visit the Road Safety Commission website to find out more about the new SLOMO laws.
