Our Recommendations

Better Streets Australia has five key recommendations for Federal, State and Local Governments.

Our recommendations are critical to creating safe, healthy, people-friendly, climate-friendly streets:

Get kids active

Encourage 75% of children to walk, cycle, scoot, or take public transport to school every day, setting them up with healthy habits for life.

Get kids active

Slow vehicles down

Make local streets and shopping streets quieter and safer with 30km/h speeds.

Boost local businesses

Support local businesses by improving and expanding beautiful streetscapes that people enjoy.

Make more crossings

Make it easy and convenient to walk by creating a connected walking network and crossings.
