What we heard about Travel Safe Tradies

11 December 2024

What did we do?

On the ground action: Held 3 Face-to-face engagement at

  • Shellharbour Bunnings with FREE sausage sizzle
  • Oak Flats Works depot with FREE bacon & egg roll
  • Illawarra Convoy

Spread the word:

  • Promoted across Shellharbour Council social media 4 times & included in the snapshot 4 times.
  • Flyers were sent to 181 tradie businesses along Industrial Road, Oak Flats.
  • The first 50 survey participants received a Travel Safe Tradie pack, supported by Transport NSW.


Over 6 weeks, we got 72 contributions from a mix of local legends and people beyond the area who were either tradies or ute drivers. Take a look at what we heard from the people we spoke to!

We asked & you responded!

What happens now?

We have contacted our prize winners and are excited to join a local business for a pizza party and toolbox talk soon! And our road safety prize packs have been sent to the first 50 people who completed the survey.

We will use the feedback you have shared to inform how we continue to make our local roads safer!
