Major funding boost to deliver safer roads across the State
- More than $50 million to be allocated towards road safety projects
- $22 million for the State Black Spot Program and $30 million for the Safer Roads Program
- Safety upgrades will be delivered at more than 100 locations across the State
- More than $1.2 billion invested into road safety initiatives since 2020
The State Government will inject a further $52 million towards improving road safety with the 2024-25 State Black Spot Program and Safer Roads Program announced today.
More than 100 locations across the State will receive road safety upgrades, including 63 in regional Western Australia.
The funding will deliver both upgrades and critical planning and pre-construction works.
A total of $22 million has been allocated to the State Black Spot Program and $30 million for the Safer Roads Program.
A further $6 million will be contributed by local governments from around WA to support safety projects on local roads.
The major funding injection takes the total amount invested into specific WA road safety programs since 2020/21 to almost $1.3 billion.
A full list of the projects funded through the 2024-25 State Back Spot and Safer Roads Programs can be found below.
Comments attributed to Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:
"Improving road safety is a high priority for our Government, which is why we continue to make significant investments to upgrade roads across Western Australia.
"This $52 million injection will help deliver more than 100 projects across the State – critical upgrades like new safety barriers, sealed shoulders, roundabouts and traffic signals.
"These projects come on top of our landmark $1 billion Regional Road Safety Program, which will deliver safety upgrades to 10,000 kilometres of the State's road network by mid-2025 since it was established in 2020."
Comments attributed to Road Safety Minister David Michael:
"This funding highlights the Cook Government's commitment to improving safety on roads across our State.
"Unfortunately, deaths on regional roads are again over-represented in the fatalities data for the year-to-date, but we are working hard with road safety improvements such as these along with the Regional Road Safety Program to make our roads as safe as possible."
