Session Title: Transport strategy for Non-human and sustainability

Format: Discussion

Presenter Name: Hayley Timmers (RMIT)

Summary

  • How do we identify the key species or understand local biodiversity as one neighbourhood?

  • How can we plan for non-human connectivity?

  • Community advocacy reclaiming streets: Consider how people reclaim nature strips. Gorilla street trees on the upfield line.

  • Community planting VicTrack: tracking which species pass which route in their everyday lives to reflect on the transport planning.

  • How do we tackle KPI while making enjoyable connectivity for humans and non-humans?

  • How should we assess possible environmental impacts on the site when we plan the strategy?

  • There are important grasslands along the Sunbury line, these narrow strips of vegetation should not be managed without engaging Traditional Owners.
