Advice

The Forum raised no issues with this Item.

City staff advised that no bike rings will be removed due to the installation of the on-street bike parking.

Cr Worling requested City staff to investigate if the on-street bike parking in Joynton Avenue is required giving that the bike racks located on the footpath adjacent to the proposed bike parking are underutilised.

Background

The City of Sydney supports share bikes as a sustainable, low-cost transport option for everyday travel and deliveries. Use has grown rapidly, with 3.7 million trips in 2025 (a 91% increase from 2024. However, the rise in share bike and food delivery use has led to more bikes parked on footpaths in busy pedestrian areas. The community is requesting that these bikes be parked on the road to protect footpath amenity.
