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.
