Georges River Council

Road Safety

We are committed to improving road safety through programs and educating the community on road safety issues.

A key Road Safety Project Council is currently leading is the Hurstville School Precinct Traffic Study. Updates on the recommendations outlined in this study will be posted here once available.

We are part of the Local Government Road Safety Program (LGRSP). It sees Council work with Transport for NSW (TfNSW) to improve road safety in our community. This lets us hire a Road Safety Officer. They identify road safety issues, work with stakeholders, and engage the community to address these issues.

The Road Safety Officer, as part of the LGRSP, develops a road safety action plan. It aims to improve local road safety issues and at-risk groups in the community.
