REGIONAL COMMUNITY ROAD SAFETY PROJECT UPDATE (27/11/15-16/02/2016)
On behalf of the Limestone Coast Local Government Association (SELGA) I am pleased to present an
update on recent activities on the Regional Community Road Safety Officer project.
Community Road Safety Groups
 Together with SAPOL coordinate the Mount Gambier and Districts Road Safety Group
production and distribution of the Allendale East Area School 2016 Road Safety Calendar
collaborative project. Copy sent to MAC prior to Xmas 2015.
 Launch the Calendar in front of the AEAS community on Thursday 10th December 2015. A
media report from The Border Watch is attached. Additional copies have been made available
to the families if new students enrolling in 2016.
 Attend Community Road Safety Group evening meetings at Wattle Range (AGM) and Mount
Gambier and District.
Community Outreach





Represent regional road safety at the Limestone Coast Services for Young People forum held in
Mount Gambier on Monday 30th November 2015.
With the message and image associated with the “Don’t Risk It” campaign from Christmas
2014 post Christmas post cards to community stakeholders. Copy attached.
Create 2015’s new Christmas message and cards bearing the “12 Days of Christmas” road
safety message. Copy attached.
Weekly distribution of the “No Winners Here” (NWH) scoreboard that is now being distributed
to all active community road safety groups with an email address in South Australia. NOTE:
Campbelltown City Council in Adelaide have picked it up and run the weekly update in their
public areas.
Campaigns
 Stay Another Day – In late December 2015 an innovative full page message in the Limestone
Coast Stay Another Day” annual tourism guidebook was published. 20,000 copies of the book
are distributed via key entry points, visitor information centres and tourist destinations
throughout the region.
 The “Stay Another Day” campaign message was featured in the Australasian Council for Road
Safety (ACRS) newsletter #194 released 27th January 2016. Extract from the Newsletter
attached.
 “On the Beach: Sounding out stakeholders on the production of a road safety DVD that will
engage all beach users on appropriate driver behavior. Using a concept successfully employed
by the Kangaroo Island Council on another road safety initiative, conversations have begun
with the District Council of Robe and other stakeholders about a generic message using the
region’s iconic Long Beach as a case study. This regional engagement we believe will lead to
the development of a funding application that will demonstrate safe behaviors where motor
vehicles are permitted on our beaches and share with beachgoers. The initial meeting held in
Robe with a selection of possible stakeholders (Council, SAAS,) on 12 February is expected to
get the ball rolling.
 For want of a better name, “Project Pie Drive” a road safety project aimed at minimising the
dangers caused by driver fatigue came to fruition. In Late January saw the first shipment of
thousands of pastry bags arrive for distribution via a number of bakeries and canteens in the
Limestone Coast. The pastry bags (Copy attached) have a road safety message bearing 7 tips
on fighting driver fatigue. It also depicts a map that highlights a wealth of places in the
Limestone Coast region to take time out, have a break from driving, enjoy our region and
refresh. Expected to be launched in the second week of February 2016. I have a bundle of the
bags here for members if they wish to draw them to the attention of their local bakeries and
canteens to expedite take up.
State Government
 Follow up Minister Piccolo’s office requesting a copy of the supporting powerpoint material
shown by DPTI, RAA, CASR and SAPOL at the regional forum on the Review of Rural Speed
Limits held in Mount Gambier on the 25th November. No response as yet.
 Letter sent to Tony Piccolo MP acknowledging his strong support for improving community
road safety during his time as Minister for Road Safety.
 December meeting with Mr. Michael Cornish, GM Road Safety and Communications, MAC.
Local Government

District Council of Grant on 10th December 2016.
 Approach the Management of Mount Gambier Airport about the placement of short road
safety messages on their display screens inside the terminal building. Simple messages will
focus on local driving conditions, e.g. Keep on the LHS, and watch out for wildlife (roos), lights
on and sharing the road with heavy freight vehicles. Status: Outstanding

Chairman Report

Country Road Speed Limits – discussion to bring the speed limit on country roads back to 100
km/hr. The default speed limit on country roads is 100 km/hr if not signposted otherwise
just the same as the default is 50 km/hr in built up areas unless otherwise signposted.

Noticed that the reflection on the back of the new signs on the highway is very bad and
makes it very hard to see.
Moved R Drabsch seconded R Clothier that TRSG write to DPTI requesting that the reverse side of
all signs on the highway be treated on the back with a non reflective treatment to reduce the glare
from the sun.
CARRIED
Police Report




Riddoch Highway/Dukes Highway junction - there is no give way or stop sign at this
junction. Nothing to alert traffic that the junction lays ahead. Suggestion to have flashing
lights and/or reduce the 80km/hr speed limit to 60 km/hr.
S Prakash suggested that Council write to DPTI about near misses etc and get them to install
road reduction flashing lights etc rather than trying to reduce the speed limit. S Prakash to
bring more information back to the next meeting regarding that particular corner in relation
to how many accidents/near misses etc.
Speed was has been an issue of late with 6 or 7 drivers being clocked over 150 km/hr. Issued
3 immediate loss of licence notices.
Suggestion whether there would be consideration of changing the speed limit in Woolshed
Street to 40 km/hr. It was felt that most road users drive to the conditions on Woolshed St,
ie not travel at 50 km/hr when the street is busy at peak time.
Council



Emu flat road – Requested an update to our application regarding the reduction of the
speed limit.
ARTC Boom Gates Bordertown – ARTC acknowledge that this is a dangerous crossing, We
are yet to receive a response regarding the installation of boom gates.
Last Council meeting MTS had a visit from the safety officer from JBS regarding reducing the
speed limit in front of their JBS plant. Council wanted to seek the opinion of the TRSG
before they make a decision. Council thinks that there would be too many different speed
limits (different) on that road. TRSG suggests the following:
o Include placing the speed trailer on this road as part of its rotations.
o Police to police this area more.
o Check whether current slips lanes are visible, being parked in and whether there
is a lane for cars and trucks.
o Driver education for migrants.
Schools – Mick O’Connell

Concerned that some motorbike riders are not dressing appropriately to ride.
