Grant Stories: Community Event and Project Grants


Slowing Down Traffic

Erwin and his husband were looking for a chance to get out of the city, when they fell in love with Mullalyup in WA’s South West. But after moving there, they soon realised that the highway passing though the tiny town, presented some challenges.

Although part of the fabric of the community, bringing tourists and supporting local business, the constant volume of traffic and 70km speed limit made it noisy and dangerous.

It turned out that Erwin’s concerns were echoed by others in the Mullalyup community.

So inspired by the Safer Speeds & Better Places Community Toolkit, Erwin arranged for Town Team Movement representatives to come to Mullalyup to explore placemaking ideas with the community.

It was decided to create an entry statement to the town in the hope that it might encourage drivers to reduce their speed and take in the sights.

So with funding from the Road Safety Commission’s Community Grants Program, a stunning mural was created by artist Alicia Rogerson featuring the vulnerable Red Tailed Cockatoos in the area.

The mural (pictured) had a remarkable impact on road safety in the town. Prompting motorists to reduce their speed.

Furthermore, the road safety message conveyed in the mural “Slow Down in Our Town”, resonated with drivers, resulting in more respectful and safer driving.

Mullalyup is just one of many communities in Western Australia that have made their streets safer, thanks to the Road Safety Commission’s partnership with the Town Team Movement.
