Our roads wouldn’t work too well if they weren’t connected
Yarra BUG have joined Better Streets, alongside Streets Alive Yarra and Merri-bek BUG. Better Streets is a coalition of community groups, businesses, individuals that was launched at the 2022 Micromobility Conference in lead up to the 2023 NSW state election. Better Streets are planning to become a national coalition.
Getting involved is free for individuals, groups and includes campaigning resources, meet ups, newsletters and more.
