The Australian National Cycling Strategy has been prepared following review and renewal of Australia Cycling: The National Strategy 1999-2004.
The renewal process has been guided by stakeholders from the community, non-government cycling organisations, bicycle industry and Austroads, (the association of Australian and New Zealand road transport and traffic authorities which includes state and territory road agencies, the Australian Department of Transport and Regional Services, the Australian Local Government Association and Transit New Zealand); and other government agencies.
Together, representatives of these stakeholders constitute the Australian Bicycle Council (ABC), established in 1999 to oversee the implementation of Australia Cycling: The National Strategy 1999-2004.
In developing this new Strategy the ABC’s focus has been on identifying and promoting best practice in a range of outcomes affecting cycling. The result is a Strategy that will coordinate the resources of the three spheres of government in undertaking actions – across the areas of transport, planning, environment, health, sport and recreation and tourism – to increase cycling in Australia.
