Better Streets' 2025 federal election campaign garnered support from 240 candidates and over 100 organizations, advocating for a $400 million annual investment in active transport.
This movement underscores Australia's growing commitment to safer, more sustainable streets for all.

The 2025–26 Budget is a missed opportunity to invest in safer streets. While roads receive billions, walking and cycling get just $100 million.

Our proposed National Active Transport Infrastructure Program would fund Regional City Networks. To start by 15 regional cities and rapidly growing peri-urban areas to build connected walking and cycling paths, inspired by Wagga Wagga’s highly successful 56 km network.

Better Streets is now a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR)! This means gifts (donations) of $2 or over, are now tax-deductible.

As we approach the 2025 Australian federal election, Better Streets has launched a campaign asking the Australian Government, opposition, other parties and candidates to significantly increase funding for walking and cycling. Our goal is to boost the Australian Government's funding commitment to $15 per person annually, up from a historical average of just 90 cents. 

Better Streets has written a submission to express concerns regarding the exemption of oversized vehicles from the New Vehicle Fuel Efficiency standard.
