ROADSIDE MEMORIALS

In reply to the Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (1 November 2006).

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs): I am advised:

1. There is currently no formal program or separate budget allocation for roadside crash markers in the 2007-07 financial year.

2. The Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure responds to requests from community road safety groups, local councils and service clubs for signage and marker installation.

The Department provides a liaison and technical advice service and also supplies crash markers and signs to the groups requesting them.

In the order of $10,000 has been spent since 1999 on crash markers and signage with the costs being met from within road maintenance allocations.
