Thank you for having your say
Over 400 participants have contributed to the Ballarat Micromobility (e-scooter) review consultation, which included a diverse range of members of our community with a wide range of perspectives.
Feedback is now being reviewed, analysed and used to inform a report that will go to Council in the future to determine the future of micromobility in Ballarat.
E‑scooters, privately owned or shared, are now legal in Victoria and subject to standard road rules. This survey is focused only on shared e‑scooters and e‑bikes — like the orange devices available for public hire in Ballarat.
While anyone can ride a privately owned devices, Councils decide whether to allow commercial operators to make shared micromobility available on public land. This means the future of the shared services in Ballarat is a local decision.
The City of Ballarat is reviewing the shared e‑scooter and e‑bike trial to understand what’s working, what hasn’t, and how things could be improved. This survey is open to everyone - whether you've used a shared e-scooter or e-bike or just have thoughts about their role in our community. Your input will help inform a report to Council later this year with options and recommendations on the way forward.
