Greater Shepparton City Council has endorsed the final Mobility and Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan 2025–2029, setting a clear roadmap to reduce road trauma and support safer, more accessible travel across the municipality.
In Summary
The Strategy aligns with the Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2021–2030 and aims to halve fatalities and serious injuries on our roads by 2030. It focuses on four key themes – Safe People, Safe Speeds, Safe Roads and Safe Vehicles – and outlines targeted initiatives, clear timeframes and performance measures to track progress.
The draft Strategy was released for public consultation earlier this year, receiving detailed submissions and feedback. Community members provided input on a range of issues which were then analysed and incorporated into the final version of the Strategy. Key themes that emerged during consultation included:
Based on this feedback, several updates were made to the Strategy, including:
The final Strategy retains a strong focus on behaviour change, speed management, education, and the promotion of safer vehicle technologies.
Mayor, Cr Shane Sali, said the Strategy had been significantly strengthened through extensive consultation and a strong response from the community.
“Community feedback played a central role in shaping this Strategy. We have listened closely to residents and made sure the final plan addresses what matters most, safer intersections, better road surfaces, clearer pedestrian connections and more transparent progress reporting,” he said.
“This is a whole-of-community approach. Everyone deserves to feel safe getting from A to B, whether they are driving, riding, walking or using a mobility aid.”
