Shire Scoops Major Road Safety Award

Compact roundabout

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has been named winner of the 2025 ACRS Excellence in Road Safety Award.

Each year, the Australasia College of Road Safety (ACRS) recognises exceptional leadership, research and innovation in road safety, highlighting individuals and organisations committed to reducing road trauma across Australasia.

This prestigious Australasian award was for the Shire's innovative work on rural compact roundabouts - projects that deliver life-saving infrastructure at a fraction of the traditional cost.
