This inquiry was self-referred on 26 November 2008.

Resolution passed 26 November 2008, Minutes No 18, Item 3.

In 2001, the Committee resolved to conduct an inquiry into the safety of railway level crossings in New South Wales, with the following terms of reference:

  • The status of railway level crossings in New South Wales;
  • Factors contributing to crashes at railway level crossings;
  • Countermeasures which may increase the safety of railway level crossings;
  • Motorist behaviour and education regarding the use of railway level crossings; and
  • Any other related matters.

In October 2004, the Committee handed down its findings and recommendations.

In mid-2006, the Committee commenced an inquiry to review the response to the findings and recommendations arising from its 2004 report into the safety of railway level crossings in NSW.

In November 2008, the Committee resolved to conduct a further public hearing into railway level crossing safety and take evidence from relevant organisations in order to obtain updated responses to its earlier recommendations.
