A beautiful, liveable and accessible city
Our vision is for a beautiful, liveable and accessible city; with more trees, wider footpaths and thriving businesses in vibrant neighbourhoods. Residents and shoppers of all ages and abilities are able to move safely, comfortably, and conveniently around Yarra, irrespective of whether they walk, roll on a wheelchair, cycle, use public transport or drive.
In summary, our vision is to use good design to make our streets better:
- Better for women
- Better for children
- Better for seniors
- Better for people with disabilities
- Better for people on low incomes
- Better for drivers
- Better for parking
- Better for business
- Better for trams
- Better for car sharing
- Better for trees
- Better for our climate
- Better for our health
