Introducing Us

Our Purpose is to provide safe and efficient road access that will enhance community lifestyles and ensure economic prosperity.

Our Vision is to be recognised for excellence in customer service and world-class road access.

Our Stakeholders include every person who lives or does business in Western Australia. A wide range of groups are consulted within the course of conducting our business, including community groups, businesses and Government stakeholders and representatives.

Our Strategic Direction aims to achieve excellence through inspiring leadership and strong collaborative relationships. There are five strategic areas of focus that will assist in achieving this:

• Providing the right roads for Western Australia
• Making roads work for the community
• Creating our workforce of the future
• Inspiring leadership
• Enhancing relationships.

Our Values form the foundation upon which Main Roads is built. They represent our culture, guide our behaviours and influence the decision-making process and our relationships with each other, our customers and partners.

Our values are:

Roads Matter

Taking pride in managing the road network for the benefit of the community.

Embracing Challenge

Anticipating and taking up challenges.

Excellence in Customer Service

Understanding and providing what is important to our customers.

Working Together

Enhancing relationships and teamwork.

Professionalism

Providing high levels of expertise in delivering our services.

Family

Respecting and supporting our customers, the community and each other.

Our Role in Western Australia, as the State road authority of one of the most widely geographically distributed road networks in the world, is to manage and provide road access to all road users across the State.

We work closely with our portfolio colleagues and Local Government to plan, build and maintain an integrated and efficient world-class road transport network of just over 18,500 kilometres. We manage more than $41 billion of assets (road assets valued at $39 billion) that support the needs of all road users across the State.

We operate from 10 regions located throughout the State:

	Region	Area Covered (Thousand km2)	Population (Thousand)	State Roads (km)
1	Gascoyne	135	10	995
2	Goldfields-Esperance	941	59	2,202
3	Great Southern	53	59	1,608
4	Kimberley	421	38	2,241
5	Metropolitan	5	1,745	849
6	Mid West	287	54	2,657
7	Pilbara	507	63	2,738
8	South West	29	253	1,746
9	Wheatbelt North	100	50	2,004
10	Wheatbelt South	55	23	1,554
Total		2,533	2,345	18,594

Our Sustainable Approach is to strive to be an organisation that integrates economic, social and environmental aspects into our decision making and seeks positive outcomes in each. Our Sustainability Policy states that, ‘Main Roads is committed to creating lasting benefits through an integrated consideration of the social, environmental and economic aspects in all that we do’. We will manage, operate and develop a road transport system that meets the needs of today, without compromising the natural, human and financial capital on which future generations will depend. In embracing our Sustainability Policy and Strategy we will improve and strengthen the way we meet the Western Australian community’s needs.

A Sustainability Performance Framework with associated plans and policies is under development. It will clarify our long-term priorities and has been generated from a gap analysis process that utilised staff input from Sustainability Awareness Workshops and external sustainability frameworks. Further details can be found on our website.

To ensure our ongoing performance on sustainability issues of importance to our business and our stakeholders, we conduct an annual materiality review based upon our corporate commitments, our key business and environmental risks, our legislative requirements, our corporate stakeholder engagement processes, and media and ministerial topics. Our key topics can be found in the Sustainability section of the Main Roads website.
