Road safety and combating fatigue is a community issue the Wingecarribee Shire Council Road Safety Officer addresses on a regular basis.
Driver fatigue crashes continue to be a major concern along the Hume and Illawarra Highways and the catering trailer has been purchased to provide Driver Reviver refreshments for drivers taking a rest break in their journeys.
The catering trailer is generally used during peak holiday travel periods.
The community trailer was made possible with financial assistance from: Veolia Mulwaree

Other Groups will be considered based on application to Councils Road Safety Officer and at Councils sole discretion.
The catering trailer is not available for hire for social function.
Generally use of the catering trailer will not be granted for more than 3 consecutive days/nights. If the trailer is to remain at the location overnight, a security system acceptable to Council must be in place.
