Regional Safety Summits

Summits overview

The Regional Safety Summits were recently held across NSW from 30 May - 5 July 2023. The summits brought together over 600 people from our regional NSW councils and Transport for NSW, to learn about how we can improve work site safety across the board.

The summit features an array of guest speakers providing a wide range of information on safety leadership, culture, management systems and more.

We thank all who attended the summits, for making it such a valuable and educational experience. Our Council partners are so important as we work together to achieve the best possible safety outcomes.
