Join us for an online forum to hear from Bendigo locals about transport issues and solutions in the face of climate change and COVID-normal.
How can we plan for more active and public transport in our communities to reduce emissions and make our neighborhoods more liveable? .... safer bike paths, wider footpaths, and accessible public transport must be a top priority.
Hear from locals about how climate change is impacting the Bendigo community, as well as initiatives for locally sustainable transport solutions.
And learn about Melbourne-based active transport plans, including the 40kms of separated bike lanes recently commenced in the city.
