Better Streets Australia
We bring together a diverse range of organisations and individuals who champion safe, healthy and loveable streets.
We’re united around a vision that every Australian community deserves streets that are welcoming to people of all ages and abilities, better for the environment, and support local businesses to thrive.
We provide the resources to advocate for positive changes to the streets and neighbourhoods you care about. Better streets are just around the corner.
Our recommendations
Better Streets Australia has five key recommendations for federal, state and local governments.
Set lifelong healthy habits and reduce local traffic, by enabling 75% of school children to walk, cycle, scoot, or take public transport.
Make local streets and shopping streets safer and quieter with 30km/h speeds.
Support local businesses by improving streetscapes so that people enjoy getting out and about - and spending - in their area.
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.
