In a pilot project in Canberra, households who were in the process of moving were targeted, including households who had recently completed moving as well as households who had rented or purchased property but not yet moved location. The pilot project was carried out in the Belconnen and Gungahlin areas of Canberra. Selecting only households who were in the process of moving presented a number of issues that are not applicable when carrying out a voluntary behaviour change project over a suburb or within a community. In this paper the authors explore these issues and discuss recommendations on how they can be overcome. While evaluation of voluntary travel behaviour change is never easy, there are some very specific issues that arise with households that are moving or have just moved. The authors describe the issues relating to evaluation and then describe the procedures that have been tried in the Canberra case to overcome the problems.
