Politics aside, this says so much about how we plan the places we live - infrastructure, open spaces, public health and climate risk.

New pop up park in Seddon. Great work Maribynong Council! Closed end of road and transformed the space into a neat park. Love this sort of urbanism.

The only thing I like about the west gate tunnel opening is the no truck ban on inner west streets - unless of course Williamstown Road which will see an actual increase in truck numbers. Let’s see how this goes.

Priorities. We asked for a covered pedestrian path like they gave the cars.

Visiting Oxford and am surprised and totally impressed with the shared spaces - making it easy for bikes and walkers to get around

I’m excited for this - and yes I live in a ‘tram and transport zone’ in the inner west. Lots to review and comment on. Needs to be coupled with investment in public spaces and safe movement infrastructure 🤞

Planners - pay attention. We’re reasonably good with riverine flooding when mapped, arguably not quite as good with forest fire.

Demolition by neglect? Hoping the Sunshine/Albion airport rail link works package includes this iconic building and gives it a new lease of life.

This is some pretty pro housing statement from the Vic state government. Take a read and post your favourite quote! Aggressively pushing inner and mid city development instead of just greenfield growth. This is a real, good step forward (with some caution!) www.premier.vic.gov.au/if-councils-...

Good news story that’s needed at the moment. Does Melbourne need congestion pricing?

First time listener! Great reminder of the importance of good planning and providing spaces for small businesses as a driver for activity.

Sub 600sqm block could fit this. My block could fit this in inner Melbourne. Would love to see it.

Great question. Good planning policy should make it easier to build what you want, and vice versa. So often it’s just the same rules applied.

These are my favourite incremental changes that we should be doing on a daily basis. Would make many little improvements to safety and amenity at very little cost or inconvenience. Can think of countless opportunities in my neighborhood alone.

Using citibike when living in NYC was one of the greatest joys. Much better bike network now. I miss it dearly now back in Melbourne.
