Amy's Foundation submission to the Queensland Parliamentary inquiry on e-mobility

In April 2026, Amy's Foundation lodged a formal submission to the Queensland Parliamentary inquiry into the Transport and Other Legislation (Managing E-mobility Use and Protecting Our Communities) Amendment Bill 2026.

Our submission supports the Bill's enforcement measures against illegal, high-powered devices, which pose a genuine safety risk. We raised concerns about the driver's licence requirement for compliant e-bikes and the blanket 10 km/h speed limit on shared paths, on the basis that these measures risk discouraging safe, legal active transport without addressing the behaviours that actually cause harm.

The submission is published on the Queensland Parliament website as submission 1859 and is available to read below.

AMY's foundation x ancap safety

Amy’s Foundation has teamed up with ANCAP Safety to create a Car Buyer’s Guide for people who care about protecting others on the road.

Our Guide explains ANCAP’s four pillars of safety testing, including Vulnerable Road User Protection (VRU), and unpacks the technology that makes a difference. It also gives you the top 10 questions to ask in the showroom about VRU protection, plus extra checks for driver, passenger and child safety.

Honouring Amy’s legacy

The Amy Gillett Foundation was established in 2005 in memory of Amy Gillett OLY, a talented Australian cyclist who tragically lost her life in a road accident.

Our foundation is dedicated to reducing the incidence of cycling-related deaths and injuries in Australia, because Amy's story is sadly not unique.

Since Amy's tragic death in 2005, there have been over 800 more deaths on Australian roads, involving cyclists and motorists.

Damion Drapac, Jason Lowndes, Gurmantar Gill, Nicholas Sky, Chris Baker, Angus Collins, Stephen Jelfs, John Dennis, Alicia Celaya Jauregui, Rebekka Meyer, Mardi Bartlett.

They are more than just names, they were people with families, friends, communities, who will forever grieve their loss.

For Amy, for them all, we work tirelessly to change the situation on Australian roads.
