Making roads in regional NSW safer with grants for regional councils for level crossings

Published

The NSW Government is delivering on its commitment to make NSW roads safer with the announcement that regional councils will receive $1.17 million in grants to improve safety at level crossings.

The funding, delivered through the Level Crossing Improvement Program - Regional Council Minor Works, will support 21 projects across regional NSW, benefiting 81 level crossings on council managed local and regional roads.

This is a sub-program of the NSW Government's broader Level Crossing Improvement Program, through which the NSW Government invests $7.3 million annually to upgrade public level crossings and increase awareness through safety education and enforcement campaigns.

Successful projects were determined through a merit-based application process considering key safety data including the Australian Level Crossing Assessment Model (ALCAM) rating and NSW safety incident data.
