The 2009 Australian Bicycling Achievement Awards were presented in
Canberra on 16 June 2010 at an event opened by Heart Foundation CEO
(ACT) Tony Stubbs and with the key note address from Parliamentary
Secretary for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local
Government, Maxine McKew.
“2009 has been a landmark year for cycling, with this year’s
commitments to fund bicycle infrastructure blowing away previous
investments by all three levels of government,” said Stephen Hodge,
spokesperson for the Cycling Promotion Fund.
The National Heart Foundation of Australia is the principal partner for the Australian Bicycling Achievement Awards.
The support from the Heart Foundation for the Awards comes at a time
of increasing concern about rising obesity and falling levels of
physical activity among our school children and Australian families.
One of the main objectives of the Australian Bicycling Achievement
Awards is the promotion of best practice. To achieve this we annually
publish a booklet that includes all Awards nominations and winners.
The booklet provides a summary of all nominations and winners to
share information about projects that promote cycling and/or make a
contribution towards improving conditions for bicycle riders.
For more information about specific achievements please contact the
individuals concerned. The award booklets recognise the great work
being done around Australia to advance cycling. Hopefully they are also
a source of inspiration.
 All booklets are also available in PDF format. Click on the Adobe icon to download Adobe Reader.
