Conversations Merri-bek
No matter how you choose to move around Merri-bek, every time you leave your house, you are engaging with Merri-bek's transport network. Whether you're walking, riding a bike or driving, and whether you're headed to school drop-off, work, or to the shops, traveling is essential to live our lives.
We're working to improve the way you can travel around Merri-bek, now and into the future. This includes both improving current infrastructure and creating some new, and giving our community greater choice in how they can get around.
We're committed to working with our community on our transport projects. On this page, you can find more information on our current, major transport projects, and provide feedback.
We're hosting a forum to discuss road safety matters throughout Merri-bek to help us better understand our community’s experiences and ideas.

Our transport projects are guided by our transport strategy, Moving Around Merri-bek.

Moving Around Merri-bek is based around 6 values. They are:
Moving Around Merri-bek also outlines Streets for People, our framework for making changes to our streets.
Streets for People helps make changes to streets to benefit all users, and ensure we align project outcomes with our commmunity's values and strategic goals.
Merri-bek City Council acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional custodians of the lands and waterways in the area now known as Merri-bek, and pays respect to their Elders past and present, as well as to all First Nations’ communities who significantly contribute to the life of the area.
