Streets for People: How Yarra’s 30 km/h zone can grow across Melbourne

Join us for an evening of dialogue and insights featuring Lee Waters, renowned for his pivotal role as former Deputy Climate Change and Transport Minister in the Welsh Government. Lee will share his journey of implementing 30 km/h (20 mph) as the default urban speed limit across Wales. His experiences and challenges in driving transformative change towards achieving the Paris climate targets promise to offer invaluable lessons in policy and leadership.

This event is a unique opportunity for advocates and community members alike to delve into the intersection of policy and effective governance.

Following a keynote address from Lee, he will be joined by moderator Julian O'Shea and guests Lauren Pearson, Ben Rossiter and Sophie Wade for a chat and then Q&A. Together, they will explore the complexities of reducing urban speeds and discuss how Yarra's pioneering 30 km/h zone can grow across Melbourne.

This event is being hosted by Better Streets.
