Council has approved an e-scooter expansion, ahead of the release of its e-mobility strategy next month.

The number of e-scooters on Brisbane’s streets are set to jump from 1000 to 1500, and roll out to more areas of the city.

Public transport committee chairman Councillor Ryan Murphy says its e-mobility strategy will help Brisbane adapt to new technology.

“Our e-mobility strategy will be the first of its kind in Australia and is expected to be released in June 2021," he said.

"It will set out a clear way forward for Brisbane to adapt to new technology and ensure we lead by example for other cities around the world.”
