The Darebin Transport Strategy was released in 2007 and Council has since been working hard to improve transport for the community. This includes achieving a significant reduction in crashes on local roads, an increase in trips made by sustainable transport, such as walking, cycling and public transport, and successful advocacy for increased state government funding for local transport projects.

Since the most recent update in 2015, there have been many changes to Council and State Government policies, and in society – like the COVID-19 pandemic and rapidly growing popularity of electric vehicles. All of this means it’s time for another refresh of the transport strategy, and to start working with our community on a new policy for electric vehicle charging in Darebin.

Our refreshed Darebin Transport Strategy lists a new electric vehicle policy as a key action, so we’re using this opportunity to ask for your thoughts on both documents.

Keep reading to learn more about these projects, or have your say now by taking our survey.

Consultation will end on 1st May 2022.

Thank you for your feedback on our Darebin Transport Strategy Refresh and Electric Vehicle Charging Policy. We are currently reviewing all of the feedback. Follow this page to be updated on our next steps.
