ourValuesOur vision

Smart Roads, Safe Journeys is also our ethos and underpins everything we do.

Our purpose

Moving people and freight safely, reliably and efficiently on WA roads keeps us on track and accountable in delivering our services.

Our stakeholders

include every person who lives or does business in Western Australia. We consult a wide range of community groups, business and Government stakeholders to capture the interest of WA road users and help deliver services that meet the needs of the community.

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 sustainable approach

“Main Roads is committed to creating lasting benefits through an integrated consideration of the social, environmental and economic aspects in all we do…” – Main Roads Sustainability Policy

We consider sustainability in all our decision-making. This ensures we 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. Through the adoption of our own Sustainability Policy and Strategy we will improve and strengthen the way we meet community needs and manage, operate and develop our business and employees.

Keeping on track

We conduct an annual materiality analysis that draws from our corporate commitments, our key business and environmental risks, our corporate stakeholder engagement processes and media and ministerial topics. This year’s review of our overall materiality process incorporated additional stakeholder engagement and our key topics can be found in the Sustainability section of our website. In addition, you can download a copy of our GRI Content Index to see how we address key sustainaibility topics throughout our report and our business.

What’s next?

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 based on staff input from sustainability awareness workshops and external sustainability frameworks. Further details can be found on our website.
