DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND MAIN ROADS | PLATINUM SPONSOR
The Queensland Government has a vision for more cycling, more often as set out in the Queensland Cycling Strategy 2017–2027. The vision aims to support those who ride and those who want to start riding by making travelling by bike a safer and more comfortable option. To achieve this vision, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has raised its expenditure towards cycling infrastructure considerably in the last decade.
From 2006 to 2018, the Queensland Government invested more than $252 million through the Active Transport Investment Program, creating around 515 kilometres of cycling infrastructure. Looking to the future, the Queensland Government has committed
$241.5 million between 2018–19 and 2021–22 to the construction of cycling infrastructure, as well as planning and programs.
With more than 802,000 Queenslanders riding a bike each week, increasing the opportunity for safer bicycle riding benefits all Queenslanders. Riding contributes to the vitality of our cities and towns and helps to encourage a sense of community and connectedness.
The population of Queensland is expected to grow by almost one million over the next 10 years. TMR is prioritising the delivery of cycling infrastructure that is physically separated from motor vehicles to ensure that as the population continues to grow, people are supported to choose riding a bicycle as a convenient, safe, enjoyable and healthy way to travel and socialise.
TMR is striving to embed bicycle riding into Queensland's culture, communities and economy as part of TMR's vision of creating a single integrated transport network accessible to everyone. When people ride more often, it contributes to the increased sustainability of our transport system, creates a healthier environment and encourages more active lifestyles.
MCINNES WILSON LAW | SILVER SPONSOR
In 2014, McInnes Wilson Lawyers recognised a gap in access to suitable legal representation for cyclists.
The firm recognised that our community was being represented by lawyers who, typically, didn't share the passion and enthusiasm for safe access to riding for everyone. This sparked the foundation of a, now, leading division of the firm – Cycle Law.
Cycle Law is built on the simple vision of being a law firm for cyclists, run by cyclists. Cyclists who share a passion for better education, infrastructure, and safer riding environments.
One of the fundamental aspects of safer environments is safer motorists. By using civil legal action to remove reckless motorists, you can get brutally fast, effective results.
If you have been in an accident that involved a reckless motorist, you are urged to do your bit in making our roads safer by considering your civil options on a no-win no-fee basis. For more information, please visit our website.
BRISBANE CITY COUNCIL | BRONZE SPONSOR

MOON DECK | BRONZE SPONSOR
Moon Deck's innovative luminous, ultra tough, slip resistant surface coating allows for hazard identification in areas of darkness or orientation in the event of emergency in which lighting may be compromised. The coating continually recharges itself by harnessing all forms of daylight even in shaded areas, or any other form of incandescent artificial lighting.
The Moon Deck trademark became its own entity following the demand for innovative services. A variety of systems have been designed, from complete path resurfacing, to linemarking for shared pedestrian/cycling path ways, to way-finding signage and symbols.The ability to provide a low cost, visual passive form of lumination for areas of complete darkness, low light or remote areas without access to powered infrastructure compliments the ability to provide such a system.
The application of our Moon Deck systems are only limited by the imagination with continual requests to design and engineer a system that works within our clients demands particularly within work place health and safety and the growing popularity of public spaces and commuting networks.
