Shadow Minister for Transport and Roads, Maritime and Freight, Ms Jodi McKay will provide a view of the current state of play from the alternate government point of view with particular reference to the levels of funding being provided and the need to take decisive action to reduce the worsening road toll in NSW.
Dr John Crozier from the Royal Australian College of Surgeons will expand on the article by Dr Tony Joseph in the Sydney Morning Herald on 25th January 2018 titled: The National Road toll: what can be done? The Australasian Trauma Society is calling on all levels of government to support the systematic implementation of the Safe System approach to Road Safety to decrease the national road toll.
The various topics covered in this year's program (link below) will touch on relevant and topical issues for Rural, Regional and Metropolitan Councils. These challenges will only be actioned through discussion, education, advocacy and ongoing and sustained lobbying by many within Local Government banding together and speaking with one voice.
The NSW Roads Congress provides a forum for Mayors, Councillors, General Managers and Senior Engineering staff to have access to Ministers and Senior State Government staff to discuss and address these issues. It is a once a year opportunity to meet together under a local government banner to push for additional road funding. It is also a great opportunity to catch up with the latest developments and issues in roads and transport.
