Afternoon Tea Q&A with Nathan McBriarty from Wollongong City Council
The movement across the city of Wollongong is evolving and needs to be supported by innovative and effective transport infrastructure and services to support our growing population, all whilst encouraging people to choose alternatives to the motor vehicle, in response to climate action. 0ur city and the transport challenges we face, are constantly evolving, and dependence on cars as the primary source of transport for our Wollongong community is not desirable, or sustainable, in the long term. Cycling and at a broader level all micro-mobility options including e-scooters, achieve this goal. The Q&A session will detail the successes and the lessons learnt as we work towards the vision to make Wollongong ‘the place to ride’.
