PHASE ONE – Community Jury on Safe Speeds

PHASE ONE – Community Jury on Safe Speeds (Now Closed)

Thank you to everyone who submitted an Expression of Interest to take part in the Community Jury, a key component of this important research project focused on reducing speed and creating safer local roads in Coffs Harbour.

The Community Jury brought together a diverse group of residents to learn from road safety experts, discuss local experiences, and develop community-driven recommendations around safe speeds.

What was involved:

  • Four jury sessions over four weeks (14 hours in total)

  • Expert presentations on speeding, road safety, and behaviour change

  • Group discussions and opportunities for participants to propose their own ideas

  • Contribution to a final report of community-led recommendations

Application process:

  • Residents were eligible if they were 18 years or older, lived, worked, or frequently drove in the Coffs Harbour LGA, were comfortable communicating in English, and could commit to attending all four sessions

  • People with professional experience in road safety were not eligible

  • Demographic diversity was considered, and a waitlist applied once target numbers were met

The insights and recommendations developed through the Community Jury will help shape future education and awareness initiatives across the region.

The Education and Awareness of Safe Speeds in Communities project is funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts.
