Community Projects

A key part of The Great Bike Hike project is supporting the establishment of community-based partnerships and helping with the delivery of community projects and outcomes.

Organisers will be seeking out projects to become involved in The Great Bike Hike. These can either be established community based initiatives that wish to tap into the support or recognition we can offer, or new programs and partnerships that can be initiated as part of The Great Bike Hike project.

Community leaders will invite you to nominate your project for The Great Bike Hike.

Criteria for participation:

Community initiatives should:

aim to address existing or emerging challenges in a community
be sustainable
align with principles of Count Me In
be evidence based
have an agreed framework for evaluation.

Initiatives should as far as possible address the needs of specific groups and/or individuals. They could include (but are not limited to):

people with disabilities
youth
people with mental health issues
culturally diverse groups
Aboriginal communities
people in rural and remote communities.

Communities covered:

The Great Bike Hike will only be travelling through nominated rural and remote towns, but this does not exclude other adjacent communities from participating. Below is a list of the towns where The Great Bike Hike will be stopping, and nearby communities that can also nominate to participate in the project.
