With over 7500 members, Pedal Power ACT represents the interests of people who already ride bicycles and those who would like to. As well as organising bike rides and events, we work consistently with the ACT Government on all bicycle riding related matters to support the Government’s active travel program. Pedal Power ACT encourages the community to be active and provides opportunities to do so through programs like New Horizons (cycling skills course to instil confidence on a bike), Cycle Well (teaching adults how to ride), Girls on Bikes (supporting migrant and refugee women to learn to ride), and Cycling Without Age (allowing older or less-mobile people to feel the wind in their hair). Pedal Power ACT supports the ACT Government’s Active Travel goals, and particularly the 2026 goal of 7 per cent of trips to work by cycling (raising from the current rate of 3 per cent). Pedal Power believes that sustained, planned, investment in Active Travel is the best means for the ACT Government to improve population health and wellbeing, reduce emissions, and reduce congestion. Further Pedal Power ACT believes the most effective investment in Active Travel the ACT Government can make to is to continue to develop maintain and improve our cycling infrastructure. We are pleased to provide the following advice about where Pedal Power ACT believes the ACT Government could best invest funds to improve active travel.

  • Freshwater Wetlands: Ecology, Rehabilitation and 2 Management Chapter 2.1 — Ecology of Urban Freshwater Wetlands • 53
    Freshwater Wetlands: Ecology, Rehabilitation and 2 Management Chapter 2.1 — Ecology of urban freshwater wetlands • 53 2.1 Ecology of urban freshwater wetlands Dr Liza Miller Watershed Ecology 6/42 – 46 Waters Road, Cremore NSW Sydney 2090 Australia Abstract Wetlands in urban environments are subject to an array of anthropogenic disturbances leading to wetland degradation or a state of environmental change from what a wetland might be in a natural setting. This is largely because developed landscapes affect wetland condition through impacts emanating from surrounding uplands as well as the immediate area. In particular, urban landscapes influence nutrient and pollutant inputs through water deposition leading to issues such as eutrophication. Nonetheless, urban wetlands are often valued for their amenity as well as their environmental attributes. Recreation activities, including kayaking, sailing, and bird watching, contribute to wetland amenity. The environmental values of a wetland and human activities in and around a wetland pose a challenge for wetland managers. That is, natural processes, such as eutrophication, have to be managed to ensure that recreational activities can be maintained but human health is not adversely affected. As well, opportunities for native flora and fauna need consideration in order to promote wetland values for their recreational use. This chapter introduces wetland ecology and examines the impact of urban activities on wetland condition. Three Australian case studies are examined; the Dandenong wetland (Victoria), Lake Tuggeranong (Australian Capital Territory), and the Jerrabomberra wetlands (Australian Capital Territory). All three wetlands are constructed, and with the exception of the Dandenong Wetland, multiple uses need to be managed to promote their condition and manage human activities in and around the wetlands.
