Roebourne Ngarda Artwork Road Safety Project, Community Youth Justice - $4,875.00
The Roebourne Ngarda Artwork Road Safety project is proposing a multi-faceted approach to contribute to community and prison education to assist in reducing the over representation of road trauma amongst aboriginal people in the Roebourne township and surrounding areas and prevent road crashes causing serious injury and death.
The project focus will be on key behaviours and risk factors that are the major contributing factors to road crashes. The road safety messages such as dangers of Drink Driving, not using seat belts, Speeding and Child Restraints will be displayed through aboriginal art. A community art mural at the town’s basketball court, the production of a series of road safety posters and the engagement of a local radio identity to relay road safety messages in local language will be implemented. This will complement the states’ Road Safety Strategy of Towards Zero and reducing remote road fatality amongst vulnerable road users.
In support of this proposal we would like to seek funding for the "slow down consider our kids bin stickers" these are to be placed on wheelie bins in the communities associated with the Roebourne basketball courts. This proposal addresses the safe speed and safe road use cornerstones of the WA Road Safety Strategy 2008-2020 of Towards Zero. This project will work in partnership with the Roebourne regional prison (sect 95 sentence prisoners) Local Aboriginal Artist (Roebourne Art Group) and the local Ngarda Radio station. By working in collaboration with these key groups in Roebourne a sense of community involvement and ownership of this project will be achieved by active participation of planning, implementing and drawing of the aboriginal art work to make a positive change. All parties involved in the Ngarda Aboriginal Art Project will be exposed to the four cornerstone's approach.
A suite of information sessions on addressing these corner stones will be run prior, during and after the project to all parties involved to equip individuals with new understandings of a safe system and how it can be implemented at a community level.
