Motorcycle safety public hearings

It's now country Victoria's turn to hear the latest from the state's parliamentary inquiry into motorcycle safety
Public hearings will be held in the Victorian cities of Wangaratta and Wodonga in late November, to hear about the Victorian parliament’s current inquiry into motorcycle safety.
The inquiry has 11 terms of reference, including:
  • New initiatives to reduce motorcycle crashes and injuries;
  • Countermeasures to reduce the number and severity of motorcycle accidents;
  • The changing face of motorcycling, including the uptake of motorcycles as an alternative form of transport;
  • The attitude of motorcycle riders; and
  • Ways in which government and non-government sectors can work together to achieve motorcycle safety outcomes.

The inquiry has been in progress for some time now, and following this year’s Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix a number of individuals and organisations made submissions, including the Victorian Police which called for compulsory front identification on bikes.
The hearing details are as follows:

Wangaratta
Tuesday, November 29 -- 12.00-5.45pm
The Centre Room 2
Chisholm Street
Wodonga
Wednesday, November 30 -- 9.30am-12.15pm

Should you wish to attend the hearings or make a comment or contribution in relation to any aspect of the inquiry, contact the Road Safety Committee Secretariat, tel (03) 8682 2818 or email rsc@parliament.vic.gov.au.
