Mornington Peninsula Shire is working with the local community and leading road safety experts to develop our next Road Safety Strategy.

A key step in developing this strategy is hearing from road users in our community about what is important to them when it comes to road safety on the Mornington Peninsula. This survey will provide respondents with an opportunity to have their say and inform the new strategy.

The new strategy will follow on from previous Council initiatives, to develop a plan that is specific to the Peninsula area and in line with the four pillars of a safe system approach to road safety.



Our draft strategy will be available for comment in early to mid-2020.

We encourage your frank and honest feedback. All of the information provided will be treated as strictly confidential and no individual will be identified in the reporting of results.

This survey closes 5pm on 20 December 2019.
