Funding received from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and State Government is helping Council make local streets safer and more accessible for all road users by rolling out safer speed limits of 40km/h in high use areas.
A number of streets in Koroit and Port Fairy have already been approved for treatments as part of the funding application process, and the community is invited to provide their feedback on the proposed changes through drop-in sessions and an online survey.

Funding received from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and State Government is helping Council make local streets safer and more accessible for all road users by rolling out safer speed limits of 40km/h in high use areas.
A number of streets in Koroit and Port Fairy have already been approved for treatments as part of the funding application process, and the community is invited to provide their feedback on the proposed changes through drop-in sessions and an online survey.
In Port Fairy over the past 10 years, there has been six serious injury crashes and 10 minor injury crashes in the area of the proposed speed limit reductions. Koroit has seen three serious injury crashes on the local road network within streets earmarked for safer speeds.
Works for this project have been funded through the TAC and Department of Transport and Planning's Safer Local Roads and Streets Program (SLRSP). This funding has allocated $210 million towards combining local government priorities with a Safe Systems approach with the first round allocating $2 million to each Victorian LGA in the support of delivery of road safety infrastructure across the state.
The Safe System approach, which focuses on Vision Zero, holds the belief that no one should be killed or seriously injured from using the road network. It recognises that people are fallible, humans are fragile, road safety is a shared responsibility, and that the road system needs to be safe and forgiving.
This is achieved by adopting Safe Speeds, Safe Roads, Safe Vehicles, Safe People and Post Crash Care.
