QCANQueensland Cycle Advocacy Network

Overview

• Background

• Aims/ Opportunities

• Who is responsible for it

Background

• Ongoing discussions about coordinating BUG advocacy efforts across the State to further cycling

• Outside of the cycling community and immediate sphere of influence little awareness of BUG’s

• Not easy to find out who’s who in the zoo even between BUG’s

Aims/ Opportunities

• Share experience and information e.g established BUG’s mentoring new BUG’s while they are getting on their feet

• Collaborate on submissions - share the intellectual load• Coordinate advocacy efforts at local, regional and State

levels… sing from the same hymn sheet wherever possible

• Contact point for agencies/ companies/ other community groups wanting to liaise with people representing local cycling interests

• Increase profile and awareness of grass roots efforts to improve cycling

Who will carry the CAN

• Collaborative self organising structure;

• Each group would be responsible for keeping BUG details up to date and posting relevant information;

• Unlikely to succeed if it falls back on just one or two people
