Cycling action plan gives push start for bike riding

Grants of up to $25,000 are available for community groups

The second round of the Government’s Bike Riding Encouragement Program Community Grants is now open.
The grants aim to encourage fresh ideas and different ways to get more Queenslanders riding bikes for transport, recreation, and wellbeing.
Up to $25,000 is available for community groups, not-for-profit and for-profit organisations, and local governments partnering with a community organisation, to deliver projects and events that encourage more bike riding.
Eligible organisations can apply for funding under two streams: the first stream will support organisations to deliver local, grassroots events and activities that address community-specific challenges and opportunities for bike riding.
The second stream will support organisations to start or progress an innovative idea, initiative, or concept to encourage more people to ride a bike in Queensland.
The Bike Riding Encouragement Program Community Grants are one of 49 actions the current Government is progressing through the Queensland Cycling Action Plan 2023–2025 to achieve its vision for more cycling, more often.
