Actions

Local Government

• convert each block into a 30 km/h Safe Access Neighbourhood, with traffic calming and modal filters
• deliver an additional 3 km of protected bike lanes each year, a new pocket park each quarter, and a new wombat crossing each month
• adopt best-practice requirements for crossovers, and re-build 20 km of footpaths each year (including their crossovers) to improve their width and flatness, along with prohibiting all footpath parking
• reallocate 5,000 parking bays to deliver 1,000 mobility and access zones across Yarra, each with a loading bay, a disabled parking bay, a car share bay, a corral for shared e-scooters, and a hangar for private e-bikes
• extend the state government’s car parking reforms so that costly car parking mandates are eliminated across the whole of Yarra, and reform the management of on-street parking so that people are able to find a park and avoid a fine
• allocate $10 million per year for walking, biking, trees, and place making, guided by the Transport Strategy and the Place Making Framework, funded by the revenue gained from reforms to the pricing of on-street parking

State Government

• deliver the Strategic Cycling Corridor network by allocating 5% of the transport budget for safer streets.
• give councils authority to design and implement traffic control devices on local streets, as has been done in NSW; and support councils who apply for 30 km/h zones via the 2025 edition of the Speed Zoning Policy
• support share bikes by contracting directly with operators to provide a service across the entire inner city, and require councils to deliver a bike parking corral in each street (usable by either private or share bikes)
• speed up trams by using smart traffic lights to clear intersections as trams approach
• reform the bus networks that link to each suburban train station
• eliminate costly parking mandates from all planning schemes across Victoria (half done – refer to the state’s car parking reforms)
• manage driving congestion on state government controlled roads by imposing demand responsive driving charges

Federal Government

• double the federal active transport fund to $100 million per year, up from $50 million per year (announced 12 May 2026), reflecting the extraordinarily good benefit to cost ratio of investing in walking and biking
• link federal transport funding to state, territory and local governments with requirements to adopt best-practice guidelines for the design and construction of footpaths and bike lanes
• manage congestion on federal highways with demand responsive driving charges
• redirect funding from commuter car parks at train stations toward walking, e-biking, bike parking, and buses
