The Bicycle Action Group was established at the General meeting on Thursday 23 February 2017. The group had its first meeting on 9 May 2017. Currently there are four members on the group, but more members are welcome. A strategic plan is being drafted that will set the direction for the group. The group also has representation on Council’s “Pathways to the Future Project” – reference group. This project plans for the delivery of a safe separated path network, mainly in the CBD but with connections to high pedestrian, scooter and bicycle traffic areas, such as community and health centres, schools and sporting facilities.
