May 2017: Liveability, Health and Harm Minimization

This seminar was held at RMIT University on 31 May 2017.

Melbourne is the most liveable city but won’t stay that way unless we actively pursue this goal.
What can we as transport professionals do?

Four expert speakers presented on these topics:

  • Professor Billie Giles-Corti – Liveability and health
    Are we developing walkable suburbs through urban planning policy?
  • Dr Bruce Corben – Harm minimization
    How can we minimize harm to people using the transport
  • Ms Jane Waldock (City of Yarra) – The role of Local Government
    Bicycle and pedestrian paths and facilities; speed limits
  • Mr Andrew Wall (VicRoads) – The role of State Government
    Movement & Place and the SmartRoads concepts – recognising the increasing importance of sustainable transport modes
