Roads—traffic liaison committee
(Question No 1637)

Mr Pratt asked the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, upon notice, on 21 August 2007:

In relation to road safety, are there any plans to reinstate the traffic liaison committee; if not, why not.

Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The former Traffic Liaison Committee has been replaced by new road safety liaison arrangements under the ACT Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan, which I launched on 26 April 2007.

Two new groups, the Road Safety Liaison Committee and the Road Safety Task Force, have been established. These groups consist of the key government agencies responsible for items under the ACT Road Safety Action Plan.

In addition, separate consultative processes with key road user groups have been established.

Further details on these new arrangements can be found on pages 25-27 of the ACT Road Safety Action Plan 2007-2008, which is accessible on the web at www.tams.act.gov.au/move/roads/road_safety/act_road_safety_strategy
