Australia is faced with a number of health challenges. The Federal Government is seeking input and policy advice on effective strategies to increase physical
activity levels to improve community health and wellbeing.
The work and activities organised by bicycle user groups, clubs and
associations like yours, are playing an instrumental role in inspiring and
supporting people to take up and maintain regular physical activity through
cycling.
To better understand the range and extent of these activities across the
country, the Cycling Promotion Fund is undertaking its second national survey
that will document:
The size and scope of local and community cycling organisations in Australia- The number of people who regularly participate in local cycling activities and events
- The links cycling organisations have in the community
- What support would assist local cycling organisations in
maintaining and expanding their activities to reach more
people.
For the first time Cycling Australia (CA)
is cooperating with the Cycling Promotion
Fund (CPF) and other groups to get a much better picture of local and community
cycling participation in this country.
This information will be used to provide
policy advice to the Commonwealth Government to make a stronger case for
Government investment and support for effective strategies to increase physical
activity through cycling.
The survey has 5 sections
1. About your organisation
2. Your activities
3. Partnerships
4. Communications and promotions
5. Miscellaneous
Individual responses will be kept confidential.
Not all questions will apply to your organisation; many questions are optional.
But the more information you provide, the stronger the case can be made for
greater investment and support.
This survey should take an estimated 15 minutes to complete. If you are not
able to complete it at once, you can leave the browser window open, or copy and
save the URL (the web address that starts with http://) and return to the survey again later to
complete it.
We appreciate your
responses, and the CPF hopes you can do the
survey by close of business - 5pm, Wednesday
29th April 2009.
Please fee free to contact Rosemarie and Stephen if you have any questions about the survey or
the work the Cycling Promotion Fund is doing to promote and encourage cycling.
 Kind regards
