Background

At the Ordinary Meeting of the Council Meeting 28 July 2020, it was resolved;

“That the Council receives a report on the establishment of a Cycling Advisory Committee to facilitate the ongoing dialogue and communications between the Council, interested community groups and individuals on cycling matters across the City”. [Minute No. 205]

In response to the above Council resolution there has been overwhelming community interest and support for the Cycling Advisory Committee (CAC). There is a clear community urgency for the establishment of the CAC to allow a higher level of engagement on the future of cycling in the Blue Mountains. As such, at the Ordinary Meeting of the Council Meeting 25 August 2020, a Mayoral Minute was resolved;

1. That the Council seeks expressions of interest for membership of a Cycling Advisory Committee;
2. That the Council nominates a Councillor as Chair of the Cycling Advisory Committee; and
3. That a further report be presented at the 29 September 2020 Council meeting on nominations for the Cycling Advisory Committee and supporting Draft Terms of Reference.
