  We investigate measuring the peculiar motions of galaxies up to $z=0.5$ using
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from LSST, and predict the subsequent constraints
on the growth rate of structure. We consider two cases. Our first is based on
measurements of the volumetric SNe Ia rate and assumes we can obtain
spectroscopic redshifts and light curves for varying fractions of objects that
are detected pre-peak luminosity by LSST (some of which may be obtained by LSST
itself and others which would require additional follow-up). We find that these
measurements could produce growth rate constraints at $z<0.5$ that
significantly outperform those using Redshift Space Distortions (RSD) with DESI
or 4MOST, even though there are $\sim4\times$ fewer objects. For our second
case, we use semi-analytic simulations and a prescription for the SNe Ia rate
as a function of stellar mass and star formation rate to predict the number of
LSST SNe IA whose host redshifts may already have been obtained with the
Taipan+WALLABY surveys, or with a future multi-object spectroscopic survey. We
find $\sim 18,000$ and $\sim 160,000$ SN Ia with host redshifts for these cases
respectively. Whilst this is only a fraction of the total LSST-detected SNe Ia,
they could be used to significantly augment and improve the growth rate
constraints compared to only RSD. Ultimately, we find that combining LSST SNe
Ia with large numbers of galaxy redshifts will provide the most powerful probe
of large scale gravity in the $z<0.5$ regime over the coming decades.
