STOP COUNCIL OVERREACH!

The reduction of the speed limit proposed in the Active Transport Strategy to 30 km/h was not asked for or needed and appears to be based primarily on the fact that "The Climate Emergency Response Plan identified the preparation of an Active Transport Strategy as one of its key strategies and actions in moving towards zero carbon emissions by the year 2031". It lacks any real evidence for this change in the Borough, particularly given in the last 15 years there has only been 1 reported incident between a pedestrian and vehicle.

The fact that the Borough also appear happy to boast it would make us the first municipality to have a 30 km/h limit in Australia, demonstrates the initiative is not based purely on local issues. 

If you agree with any of these points and live or are associated with the 3225 postcode, please sign this petition and oppose this authoritarian over reach.
