Black Spot Program – Package C – Design Consultancy

Overview The City and Environment Directorate (ACT) is seeking to engage a suitably experienced and prequalified design consultant to progress the Black Spot Package C sites to detailed design. About The Australian Government's Black Spot Program forms part of the broader Infrastructure Investment Program and supports the national commitment to reducing serious road crashes and improving road safety outcomes across Australia. The program targets locations where serious crashes have occurred (reactive projects) or where there is a demonstrated risk of serious crashes occurring in the future (proactive projects). The Black Spot Program provides funding for relatively low-cost, high-value road safety infrastructure improvements, including upgrades such as traffic signals, roundabouts, pedestrian crossing facilities, speed management treatments, signage, and line marking enhancements. The program has consistently demonstrated strong value for money, delivering significant community safety benefits and contributing to the objectives of the National Road Safety Strategy 2021–2030 by reducing the number and severity of crashes on Australian roads. The ACT Government has received numerous community enquiries, complaints and Black Spot nominations concerning speeding, near misses, crashes and other road safety concerns across the ACT road network. In response, Roads ACT assessed the reported issues and undertook detailed Black Spot Feasibility Studies and Safe System Assessments to identify eligible sites and determine appropriate infrastructure treatments. The outcomes of these investigations have informed the development of projects proposed under the ACT Black Spot Program.
