The Walkable NSW Discussion Paper provides the foundation for the state's first-ever Walking Strategy, and community feedback is being sought. Ensure as many voices as possible are heard for a NSW that makes walking easier, safer and more accessible.

Bike buses help children develop their confidence and independence, and burn off energy so they reach school happy and ready to learn.
They’ve existed in various forms and names since the 2000s, but were popularised by social media videos from Barcelona, and then by Portland (USA) school teacher Sam (Coach) Balto. 

The annual Ride 2 School Day is a gateway to encourage children to roll for short trips. But calming streets to 30km/h is needed to facilitate their wider use

Shared e-bikes are already changing how people move around New South Wales. Ridership is growing fast. The journeys people are making — to train stations, to work, across Local Government boundaries — show that this is transport, not recreation.

But the regulatory framework being proposed to govern it doesn't yet quite match that reality.

This week Better Streets made a submission to Transport for NSW's e-micromobility sharing schemes reform consultation, and our message is straight forward.

NSW Parliament has debated 30 km/h safer speed limits for local streets — and while the bill didn’t pass, the conversation has shifted. The challenge now isn’t the evidence, but building the local case studies and confidence to make safer speeds a reality.

Usage tripled in its first fortnight. Seven hectares of new public open space unlocked. Twenty-five years in the making. Better Streets Australia brought together some of the people who made it happen, to unpack the GreenWay story - and what it means for the future of walking and cycling in Sydney.

NSW Parliament will debate a bill to introduce 30 km/h speed limits on local streets. Email your MP or attend Parliament to support safer streets.

A Local Council motion (Waverley NSW) backed by residents is now heading to the national stage, pushing for real federal funding for active transport.

The Sydney GreenWay did not happen overnight. It required sustained advocacy, cross-boundary coordination, funding innovation and long-term commitment. This conversation will unpack what it really takes to deliver city-shaping infrastructure, and what Australian cities can learn from the journey.

Join our panellists Bruce Ashley (GreenWay visionary and advocate), Nick Chapman (former GreenWay Place Manager at Inner West Council), Kobi Shetty MP for Balmain (former Inner West Councillor), and Cr Kerrie Fergusson (current Inner West Councillor), as they join moderator Matt Faber for an engaging discussion exploring:
