Advocacy

Before Council amalgamation, the Club has fielded permanent participants in Council-organized Community Reference Groups (Cycling and Walking), often called "BUGs", or "Bicycle User Groups". It is hoped that this involvement will be revived in the coming 12 months as some of us have already worked with one of the Councillors-elect. Many new Councillors have expressed publicly their support for more wide-spread community participation than we have seen recently with the former Maroochy Shire in particular.

Several Club members continue to represent the Club and Coast cyclists at State Government level.

Club representatives have won hard-earned respect from many at Council, State and Bicycle Queensland. We expect this to stand us in good stead in the years ahead.

Advocacy can be hard, time-consuming work but intensely rewarding. If you feel up to the challenge, give the Club a call at one of the Contact numbers listed in our Newsletter or Ride Calendar.
