Where Better Streets started
Better Streets began a few years ago in London, born of a need to bring a coalition of groups together and create faster change in the way we plan, design and share our streets. Now in Australia, Better Streets is the peak body for accelerating the adoption of safe, healthy, people-friendly, climate-friendly streets, right across the country. Our organisation is a registered charity, run by volunteers, experts, educators and advocates. Our goal is to educate, connect and empower our coalition of community groups, businesses, decision-makers and individuals to take more effective, scalable action to improve our streets.
What we're determined to achieve
Our mission is to actively advocate for governments at all levels – federal, state and local - to significantly increase funding and delivery priorities for infrastructure and initiatives that support better streets for all. We believe that these changes are not only essential for creating a more sustainable, healthy, and equitable Australia, they’re also completely achievable, through the adoption of better ideas, better conversations and better action.
We collaborate regularly with governments at all levels, providing research, education, case studies, tools, resources, community support and constructive, practical feedback. Our policy experts, planning advisors and communicators liaise with media, advocates, community groups and businesses to help shape strategies and programs that lead to Better Streets.
Our coalition model and educational approach is the most effective way to ensure decision-makers and community leaders not only understand the opportunities, but are well-equipped to shape a better future for our cities and towns.
