Walk Safely to School Day

Tomorrow is national Walk Safely to School Day! This community event seeks to promote road safety, healthy lifestyle, public transport and the environment, so get on board and help kids take steps towards a healthier future.

A Metre Matters

The Minimum Passing Distance Rule will be made permanent to improve the safety of both cyclists and drivers on the road. Drivers who pass a bicycle rider must allow a distance of at least 1 metre when the speed is 60 km/h or less, and 1.5 metres when the speed limit is more than 60km/h.

On Your Marks, Get Set, Go!

The Cooks River Fun Run is the best way to take in the beautiful amenities around the Cooks River! There’s 10km and 5km races for devout runners and a 5km walk and 2km kids run for families and those interested in a leisurely stroll. Get racing for early bird prices!
