Have Your Say: Proposed Changes to Open Road Speed Limits – Submissions Close Today

Council received late notice that the Australian Government is considering reducing the default speed limit on roads outside built-up areas from 100km/h to 70km/h, and introducing a default speed limit for unsealed roads.

Submissions close 5pm today, Monday 27 October, 2025, so time is very limited. Real-world feedback from drivers who regularly use these roads is essential.

Council encourages the community to have their say and provide input, even if brief.
