Great news – the City of Yarra has expanded the 30 km/h zone in Fitzroy and Collingwood.
Streets Alive Yarra was at the launch and made this video:
The expanded zone now extends south to Victoria Parade:
The expansion was supported by the editorial in The Age on November 22nd 2023 (print edition), after the relevant Council vote:
The state government should approve the expansion of the City of Yarra’s 30m/h trial zone and then follow NSW’s decision to add 30 km/h to its speed limit guidelines so it can be used beyond just trials, where appropriate.

The Age covered the expansion of the 30 km/h zone:
The online article contained quotes from Streets Alive Yarra:
The 30 km/h zone was supported by the Legislative Assembly Economy and Infrastructure Committee’s report into the safety of vulnerable road users:
Our view
The expanded 30 km/h zone is wonderful news because it will help deliver a more beautiful, liveable, and accessible city, with streets that are safe for people walking or biking. It aligns with our policy that the City of Yarra should be covered by 30 km/h Low Traffic Neighbourhoods that are linked by a network of protected bike lanes.
