The Federal Government roads to recovery initiative...
is an investment in the future of your community

On November 27, 2000 the Federal Government unveiled their Roads to Recovery Initiative. This program is a $1.6 billion boost to Australia's road network with a focus on the repair and maintenance of local roads. Of that $1.6 billion, $1.2 billion will be distributed directly to local government for local road construction and repair, with the remaining $400 million being devoted to Roads of National Importance and National Highways.

The Federal Government defines a road as:- "... including any of the following associated with a road:

  • a traffic sign
  • traffic control equipment
  • street lighting equipment
  • a vehicular ferry
  • a bridge or tunnel, including a bridge or tunnel for the use of pedestrians, and
  • a path for the use of persons riding bicycles."
Included in the guidelines of this Act, local councils are required to erect signs at the end of each work site when work begins (or at the beginning and end of a works site when the work site is long), and for them to be maintained in that position for two years after the program has been completed.

3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Sheetings are suitable for use on these signs.

See the Where to Buy page for local recommended sign manufactuers.
