Wollongong has earned international recognition for its investment in inclusive cycling infrastructure.

The city won the UCI Bike City Award for its Community Partners Program, a grassroots collaboration now hailed as a global benchmark in active transport and social inclusion.

The award, announced at the UCI Cycling for All & Sustainability Awards in Copenhagen over the weekend, affirms the city’s long-term vision to turn cycling into a community-wide driver of health, accessibility and sustainable transport - with growing economic impacts for Illawarra businesses and tourism.
