The City of Armadale's RoadWise Advisory Committee thanked emergency services at an informal gathering on Wednesday night.
Over 50 SES, Police, Fire Emergency and Ambulance Services first responders attended.
City of Armadale Mayor, Henry Zelones OAM, JP said “The gathering is a significant occasion for the RoadWise committee to thank the emergency services for their hard work and dedication in the community.”
City of Armadale Councillor and RoadWise Committee Chair Kerry Busby said “The first responders have an incredibly tough job being on the front line in emergency situations across metropolitan Perth, so they deserve our thanks and gratitude for the work that they do.
“For more than 20 years, the City has worked with RoadWise in collaboration with other road safety partners to assist with road safety issues. Members of the RoadWise Committee work in conjunction with the WA Police to help spread the road safety message to the community.”
The Committee members play an important role, as education and awareness are key factors in saving lives and reducing road trauma in the community.
RoadWise is the WA Local Government Association's (WALGA) Community Road Safety program, and has been in operation since 1994 when Armadale became the first local government in Western Australia to form a community based RoadWise Safety Committee.
