Next-generation Road Safety Planning - engagement, concepts and delivery

Understanding the context, what needs to change, and helping Council can deliver with communities central

Traditional road safety strategies often focus on crash history and individual problem locations. Our approach goes further.

We bring together three elements:

  • Proactive network safety assessment: Looking across the road network to identify risks before fatal and serious injury crashes occur, using established methodologies and Safe System principles.

  • Organisational capability: Understanding Council's capacity, expertise and track record in delivering road safety improvements, including how these compare with other councils.

  • End-to-end delivery: Translating evidence into practical projects, programs and capability improvements that reflect Council's resources and funding opportunities. Our approach starts with data, understands communities, develops effective designs and supports delivery. This integrated approach is built around the realities facing councils in 2026.

We recognise that councils manage extensive road networks, face competing responsibilities and operate with limited resources. At the same time, staff are responding to growing community expectations and demands.

Our approach is evidence-based, practical and focused on impact.

We identify where Council can make the greatest difference within its available resources, rather than producing an unachievable list of infrastructure projects focused primarily on historical crash locations.

The result is a road safety strategy that addresses both the safety of the network and Council's capability to improve it.
