Safe Local Roads and Streets Program
Supporting the development and delivery of road safety infrastructure on local roads across Victoria.
About the program
Developed by the Department of Transport and Planning in partnership with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), this $214 million program works directly with local councils to deliver safer local roads, intersections and precincts.
Recognising the funding and resourcing challenges local governments often face in delivering road safety improvements, this program supports Victorian councils to build capacity and capability to deliver safer local roads into the future.
Launched in July 2023, the four-year program works with Victorian councils to plan, design and deliver safety improvements on high risk local roads and areas, such as around schools.
The first funding round allocated up to $2 million to each Victorian local government and supported the delivery of road safety infrastructure across the state.
As part of the second stage of the program, a further 100 projects have been funded - delivering more road safety benefits to local communities.
