Big announcement yesterday. Streets as Shared Spaces. Thanks for all the great work, team.

Rob Stokes MP@RobStokesMP

It was great to be in Burwood today to launch the second round of the award winning $20 million Streets as Shared Spaces program. These projects have transformed streets, driving foot traffic and supporting local business operators as they bounce back from the pandemic.
