The Mackay, Isaac and Bowen Basin regions have one of the highest number DIDO workers, coupled with an extensive highway network. Our roads are busier than ever, with tourism also increasing leading to a high number of road crashes, especially compared to non-regional areas. We are passionate about reducing the road toll and ensuring everyone reaches home safely.
