Consultation has concluded

At its meeting on 16 November 2022 Council considered a report to waive and refund fees and charges for the Bowral Classic cycling event which was held in the Southern Highlands on the weekend of the 15 and 16 October 2022 to the sum of $6348.82.

The Bowral Classic is one of five Australian Cycling Classics or Gran Fondo experiences managed by Yaffa Publishing. Each event offers a challenging day riding through some of Australia's most picturesque regions, attracting cyclists from around Australia.

The focus goes beyond elite riding promoting the regions in which the event is held, supportive of charities and local volunteers and encourages community and corporate involvement. The Bowral Classic is the largest event attracting 3,000 riders and 4,000 visitors to the Shire over the weekend.

Event stakeholders include local Councils, Destination partners, Sponsors, Traffic Control Services, Police, Suppliers and Vendors (local wherever possible) and Volunteer groups.
