Road Safety

In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (1 August 2016). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I am advised:

The Road Safety program provides for policy and investment advice, community information on road safety and the provision of services for safe and sustainable road use and travel behaviour.

The variation of 2015-16 Estimated Result to 2015-16 Budget of $1.6 million relates to the transfer of the State and National Black Spot programs funding reported against program 6 Infrastructure Planning and Management to program 7 Road Safety. The budget transfer is an accounting treatment, and the budget relates to Road Safety's responsibility for identifying and approving projects under the State and National Black Spot programs.

The transfer of functions reported under program 4 Roads and Marine in 2015-16 to program 7 Road Safety of $1.1 million relates to the provision of the Rider Safe training program. Rider Safe is a compulsory motorcycle rider training course for all novice motorcycles riders.
