This document is a summary of and reflection on a project recently undertaken by the Southern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (SSROC) in partnership with three member Councils. The project is presented as a case study, and accompanied by a series of resources and references that may be of interest to other Councils considering interventions in this area.

The case study project, Active transport for parents and children at Council preschools and childcare centres, was funded from the Local Government and Shires Associations’ (LGSA) Healthy Local Government Grants Program.

The three Sydney Councils involved, namely Waverley, Marrickville and Sutherland Shire, agreed to work with their Council childcare centres on the issue of active transport, as a means of promoting both environmentally sustainable transport and better health in their communities.
