Better Streets Board Director Jeremy Lawrence was on ABC News arguing against Yarra Council’s (Victoria) shortsighted decision to remove shared bikes from the streets of Yarra. 

Jeremy argued that the move risks undermining sustainable transport options across Melbourne and says the decision was a "step backwards". He argues that the problem lies not with the operator but with the lack of dedicated parking infrastructure for shared bikes.

Victoria has just released an updated Speed Zoning policy — that officially includes 30 km/h limits for activity centres, local streets, and around schools.

What would it look like if streets better supported the surrounding communities? This is the question that Regen Melbourne is asking, having launched a new mission called 300,000 Streets. 

The Melbourne suburbs of Fitzroy and Collingwood now have a 30km/h speed limit across all residential streets. See why this change is great news for all people using these streets along with a report from local safe streets advocacy group Streets Alive Yarra and general explainer video on the importance of low vehicle speeds on residential streets.
