Welcome to the 96th Main Roads annual report
Our Annual Report informs the Parliament, Minister for Transport, Western Australians and other stakeholders of the primary functions and responsibilities of Main Roads, the significant activities we have undertaken throughout the year and to highlight specific achievements against our outcomes.
In addition, we seek to show the value created through the initiatives we have undertaken and identify future opportunities and challenges that will influence our business.
The Annual Report is primarily an online document and summarises the performance and key achievements of each of our outputs for the financial year ended 30 June 2022. We detail our material issues and activities to improve service delivery reflecting the strong commitment we have to our customers.
In preparing this report, we have utilised the Global Reporting Initiative framework 'core' option and have sought to adopt Integrated Reporting. Throughout we use icons to indicate the key resources consumed as inputs for our business activities. We have taken this approach as it allows us to demonstrate how we create value over time and the benefits to stakeholders.
In addition, we have reported in line with the Financial Management Act 2006 (WA) and the 2022 Western Australian Public Sector Reporting Framework.
Your comments, thoughts and feedback are welcome on our approach or on any aspect of our Annual Report.

Colour inspiration
This artwork is a collective art-piece completed by Main Roads staff and artist and Sister Kates Executive Administrator, Deanne Tann. In presenting the artwork Tjalaminu Mia, CEO of Sister Kates, said that it depicts how staff understand the importance of country and how our communities are connected.
Peter Woronzow, Commissioner of Main Roads, said he thought the artwork was a good representation of the relationship between the traditional journey ways for Aboriginal peoples and our current road network.
The 5 colour palettes used to denote sections of this annual report are inspired from the colours used in this artwork.
