The RAC represents all road users on the WA Road Safety Council and has strong alliances with local government, Main Roads WA (MRWA) and community road safety organisations. Having a safe road environment is important for all road users because the right infrastructure can be the difference between a fatal crash and a minor collision. Last year on average one person died on WA roads nearly every two days. The RAC’s Risky Roads campaign is WA’s biggest public infrastructure survey and is undertaken to provide a snapshot of community perceptions, insight for road authorities and assist in identifying trends in traffic flow, infrastructure and safety. The 2014 campaign ran during April and May, providing Western Australians’ the opportunity to express their views and nominate sub-standard roads and intersections throughout the state.

    Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks. Kununurra In March 2013 the RAC released its modelling of projected growth in motor vehicle registrations which revealed that an additional one million motorised vehicles could be on Western Australia’s roads by the end of this decade. This growth, combined with significant developments in Derby and around the Perth CBD, is placing increasing strain on an already Great Northern Hwy Broome Fitzroy Crossing over-stretched transport network.

  • P1368b-1370A Mr Paul Miles; Mr Dean Nalder GNANGARA ROAD
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 17 March 2016] p1368b-1370a Mr Paul Miles; Mr Dean Nalder GNANGARA ROAD — REALIGNMENT Grievance MR P.T. MILES (Wanneroo — Parliamentary Secretary) [9.50 am]: My grievance is to the Minister for Transport, Hon Dean Nalder, and refers to a very similar matter raised earlier by the member for Girrawheen. It is important that we put across what has happened in this particular area. As most people in the northern suburbs know, for some time Gnangara Road has been a major distributor road to the industrial estate. In 2014, when residents were becoming alarmed at some of the traffic build-up there, we, in conjunction with the City of Wanneroo, were able to have the road reclassified. The road now is once again a local road and it comes under the jurisdiction, in that sense, of the City of Wanneroo. The big concern for the little enclave in the northern part of the suburb of Madeley—which is in the southern part of my electorate and bounds the electorates of both the member for Girrawheen and the member for Kingsley—is the realignment of Gnangara Road, which has to happen. It is one of those issues that the local authority has left on the backburner, not by choice but because it is a road that has just worked and people have just gone about their business. However, it is very clear that as more homes have been built in that area, the little enclave has tripled in size, especially with the private estate and private roads that are being built alongside.
