(H)      The Applicant must contact all shared e-bike operators within the City of Sydney Local Government Area to discuss the management of shared e-bikes within and around the event footprint. This includes, but is not limited to, the identification of any requirements for temporary geofencing, restricted parking/drop-off zones, or the relocation of bikes to ensure they do not obstruct road closures, event operations, or present safety concerns
