Community Rally – 50th Anniversary of 1969 Transport Plan
It’s 1969. Yellow Submarine has just been released, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin take their first steps on the Moon, television is still black and white, and Melbourne’s first Transport Plan is out.
It’s 2019. Heatwaves, bushfires, and sea levels rising are ravishing our planet. Climate change is getting worse and our carbon emissions continue to rise. Yet, more and more cars are used due to efficient alternatives, and there’s no new transport plan in Melbourne to guide a transition.
Feeling like times’ a’ changin’? Come along for the 50th Anniversary of 1969 Transport Plan!
Join the conversation in planning other ways of moving around the city, for a decarbonised, better-connected, more liveable Melbourne. Let’s demand a Transport Plan which takes into account 2019’s challenges, and not 1969’s! With speeches, music and friendly faces!
Dress up in your best 60’s outfit, let’s party like it’s 1969!
Wednesday 27 Nov, 10-10.30am, Victorian Parliament Steps.
