The draft of the Australian Rural and Remote Water Safety Plan is now available on the Australian Water Safety Council Website (www.watersafety.com.au)
This Australian Rural and Remote Water Safety Plan (RRWSP) 2010 – 2015 builds upon the Australian Water Safety Strategy (AWSS) 2008-2011 and was developed by the Australian Water Safety Council (AWSC) in collaboration with water safety agencies; organisations working in and for rural and remote people; government; and other groups with an interest in drowning prevention.
This plan seeks to add to those areas of the AWSS 2008-2011 where specific activities / programs / services etc would benefit from a rural and remote perspective, however it also has attempted to add areas where specific work is required in rural and remote areas to achieve the aspirational goal of a 50% reduction in the number of drowning deaths by 2020.
This draft version of the plan will be available on-line at http://www.watersafety.com.au/AWSCReports/tabid/58/Default.aspx until 1-October-2010 for comment. Please provide any feedback to rfranklin@rlssa.org.au. When providing feedback please note the section / page number / paragraph to which you are referring, please also send any material to which the proposed changes relate to so that we can reference accordingly.
