This section provides information in relation to the requirements and permit application process for conducting a Road Cycle Race or Event:

Section 49AB of the Police Offences Act 1935 requires that a person must not organise or conduct a Road Cycle Race or Road Cycle Event without a police permit if it is to be held wholly or partly on a public street.

A written application seeking a Police Permit to Conduct a Road Cycle Race or Event should be forwarded to the Commander of the nearest District Police Headquarters in which the event is being held.

Road Cycle Race:

Means a race, rally, or other competitive sporting event involving two or more cyclists.

Road Cycle Event:

Means an event that (a) involves 70 or more cyclists, and (b) requires the use of public streets.

Please ensure you are using the correct form for your event type. If you are unsure which form applies to your event, or require assistance with any part of the permit application process, please contact the nearest District Police Headquarters where the event will be conducted.

Depending on the event, a twelve-week lead time is strongly recommended. At a minimum, an eight-week lead time is required to ensure your permit is processed in a timely manner. Please contact the relevant office or district if your event falls outside of this time frame.
