Parliamentary Committee Inquiries

During 2003-04 the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Transport and Regional Services (the Neville Committee) conducted an Inquiry into National Road Safety. The terms of reference were to:

1. Review the strategic objectives, priority areas and proposed measures in the National Road Safety Strategy 2001 2010, and the National Road Safety Action Plans for 2001 and 2002 and for 2003 and 2004 and consider whether these remain appropriate.
2. Identify any additional measures or approaches that could or should be adopted by the Commonwealth, States and Territories, local government and non-government agencies and bodies (including industry) to reduce road trauma.
3. Identify factors that may be impeding progress in reducing road trauma, and suggest how these could be addressed.

The Neville Committees report, National Road Safety: Eyes on the Road Ahead was tabled in Parliament on 21 June 2004.
