(1) The last full annual crash statistics publication,
Reported Road Crashes in Western Australia 2006
, was published in September 2008.
While the full crash stats books are being prepared for printing, the Office of Road Safety has placed preliminary information for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 on its website. The preliminary report for 2010 has been prepared and will shortly be added to the website
(2) The production of the annual crash books is a lengthy process. Raw data requires verification before the data analysis and preparation of the tables and figures. The document is only put on the website when it is confirmed as a final publication. Capacity constraints within the Office of Road Safety and increased requests for data information have delayed the books longer than expected. These constraints have recently been addressed.
The 2007 report is being finalised for publication. A first draft of the 2008 book is being proof read. Work on the 2009 and 2010 annual publications commenced in mid 2011. The 2009 and 2010 books are being prepared concurrently.
