Queering Cities in Australia – Making public spaces more inclusive through urban policy and practice

This project builds on the success of a UK-based project, and reviews local government strategies and policies across Greater Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, regarding their strategies and activities for accommodating LGBTIQ+ individuals, families and communities.
