19.01.2022 NO QUICK FIX TO TRUCKIE SHORTAGE: FYFE The Livestock and Rural Transport Association is calling on the State Government to help get more truck drivers on the r...oad. The association says while the chronic shortage of truck drivers in WA can be addressed, there is no quick fix. President David Fyfe says the industry is keen to work with the government on finding. "For the transport industry I would be thinking it probably won't happen until next year, but if there was any type of an idea or a solution that government could come up with the industry would grab it with open arms," he said.

10.01.2022 Win for Regional WA with Road Signage Inquiry Member for North West Central, Vince Catania and many tireless supporters are celebrating a big win for regional WA, with the announcement of a Road Signage Inquiry by the Minister for Transport. Mr Catania said this is a step in the right direction in making our regional roads as safe as possible and importantly recognises a desperate call by many from the bush for help to reduce the potential for accidents and tragedies... which have already taken too many lives and destroyed families and communities. The Minister has discussed how best to proceed with the regional road works signage inquiry with Mr Catania, after presenting a Petition to Parliament, confirming the Government will now establish an independent review with details of the inquiry to be determined over coming weeks. Mr Catania said he was pleased with the announcement after seeking Government support for improved road signage procedures for several months. We’re now seeing an increased focus on road-trip tourism in WA, promoting must see destinations across the regions, like Karijini, Mount Augustus, the Kalbarri National Park Skywalk and the Ningaloo Reef, he said. While we promote and encourage road-trip tourism, we want to make sure it is done as safely as possible so visitors, many new to country driving and local regional road users, all return home safe and sound. Now more than ever, with increasing volumes of traffic and many modes of transport sharing our remote roads including heavy haulage mining, livestock and freight trucks, along with caravans and leisure vehicles, the call for having robust safety signs in place warning drivers of the dangers of hazards up ahead is paramount.
