What is a Bicycle Advisory Committee?

The Toowoomba BUG supports the creation of a BAC to assist the new Toowoomba Regional Council get the right policies in place for cycling.

We recently attended a Bicycle Queensland seminar on the role of BUGs and learned first hand how difficult it can be dealing with some councils without a BAC, and how difficut it can be for councils to be sure they are dealing with the wide and varied needs of cyclists.

A BAC is needed here to ensure all the major government departments, and all the major local stakeholders, are sitting around the same table, at the same time, implementing the whole range of cycling policies, in unison, and correctly.

Government policies across a range of areas must be dealt with by councils at the same time.

Volunteer cycling groups, such as this BUG, must be utilised to ensure on-the-ground cycle needs are being heard and met.

What is a BUG?

A Bicycle User Group (BUG) is a group of cyclists who have a common interest in improving riding conditions in their community. The groups have detailed local knowledge which makes them effective in working with planners and administrators to improve conditions for bike riding.
