We’re Better Streets Australia
We’re a coalition of people and organisations across Australia who want to make our streets better.
We’re united around the vision that every Australian community deserves safer, healthier streets that welcome people of all ages and abilities
We provide the connections and resources to help you change the streets you care about. Join the movement!
Our Recommendations
Better Streets Australia has five key recommendations for Federal, State, Territory and local governments:
Set lifelong healthy habits and reduce local traffic, by enabling 75% of school children to walk, ride or take public transport.
Make local streets and shopping precincts safer and quieter with 30 km/h speed limits.
Support local businesses by improving streetscapes, so that people enjoy getting out and about - and spending - in their neighbourhood.
Make it easy and convenient to walk and cross the street in any neighbourhood.
Make it easy and safe to ride by building a connected, direct and convenient cycling network for people of all ages and abilities.

Join our coalition
We’re building a coalition of groups, businesses and people to demonstrate support for Better Streets in Australia.
Our coalition ensures decision-makers and community leaders understand the opportunities in their constituencies, and are well-equipped to shape a better future for our cities and towns.
“A recent national poll found the majority of Australians support lower speed limits in their neighbourhoods, and want to see their Government invest more in walking and cycling infrastructure.”
