Meeting Transport Minister Jo Haylen

29/5/2023

On 29th May, our President, Sara Stace, and Treasurer, Sam Reich, held a comprehensive discussion with Minister Jo Haylen. The key points included:

Sharing the news that Better Streets is now a nationally registered charity and is working towards achieving DGR (tax-deductibility) status.
Discussing potential collaboration between Better Streets, our alliance members and the NSW Government in fostering better street outcomes in communities across NS
Highlighting our social media influence including our short videos created with Tom Flood, and community engagement potential through platforms like Crowdspot and Snap Send Solve who we have recently partnered with
Proposing several government-funded programs intended to enhance street conditions throughout NSW – from active travel to schools to increased funding for walking and cycling infrastructure and reduced street speeds

Emphasising our expertise in idea generation, quick research, and thought leadership - our member organisations and volunteers include academics, urban and transport planners and other experts to draw from

At that meeting, Better Streets committed to:
   - Organise meetings with other NSW MPs
   - Work with Bicycle NSW on helping to ensure the Oxford St cycleway is successful
   - Propose recommendations for Active Travel to Schools and potential 30kmh trials in NSW

The major outcome: Better Streets will now have a regular quarterly meeting with the Minister's Office!
