Sara Stace wants to boost active transport in Australia for the cost of two coffees per person

Sara Stace is a city shaper, urban transport innovator, and bold advocate for better streets. With a career spanning 30 years across federal, state, and local governments, as well as the private sector, she has played a key role in shaping cities, land use, and transport policies. She's also recently started her on consultancy, Vivendi Cities.

In this episode, Sara discusses Better Streets Australia's campaign leading up to the 2025 Australian federal election. The campaign presents five key policy ‘asks’ and has already built a coalition of 100+ companies and non-profits.

Sara refers to Infrastructure Australia mid-way through our conversation and mentions that she was not sure of the minimum project value threshold before projects must be assessed by them. It is $250 million.
