Funding from the Community Road Safety Grants Program for a custom built caravan in January 2009 and the caravan continues to offer a chance for drivers to stop and revive during long drives.
Blessing of the Roads
The Blessing of the Roads campaign runs annually and aims to remember those who have lost their lives in road crashes, recognise those who work in reducing road trauma and remind all road users to be safe on the roads.
Caravan/trailer checks
Started due to a frightening amount of incidents involving caravans, these checks are run twice a year at the City of Wanneroo’s Ashby depot. With the help of the RAC, Transport and others, this event has become a vital component in the City of Wanneroo’s contribution to safer vehicles.
