Safe Towing Workshop

Next date: Saturday, 07 February 2026 | 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

ARE YOU TOWING SAFELY?

Do you tow a caravan, boat or camping/work trailer?

Drivers towing a trailer should understand their allowable weight limits and how to correctly and safely load and weigh their trailer, tow vehicle, tow ball and combination. Drivers also need to understand safe towing speeds, stopping distances, fatigue management and how towing overweight or incorrectly loaded trailers can affect the safety of themselves and others while driving.

As part of Council’s Local Government Road Safety Program, Council with support from TfNSW, will be hosting two FREE workshops on safe towing where you can ask questions and get the answers from the experts.

This interactive 2 hour workshop provides information and demonstrations to support the safe loading and towing of trailers and caravans.

The experts will be able to answer your questions such as

• What is the GCM?
• Is the towing capacity of my vehicle able to support my trailer?
• What are the rules for putting bicycles on the back of my van?
• How do I know if my trailer is loaded safely?

The FREE 2 hour workshops will be held within the North Rocks Senior Citizen Centre on Saturday 20 September 2025.

Morning session: 10:00am to 12pm

Afternoon session: 1:30pm to 3:30pm

Note: Participants should NOT bring their trailers or caravans to this workshop.

Attendee numbers are limited. Bookings required.

You do not need to live within the Parramatta Local Government Area to attend, so tell a friend!
