No doubt you are just as excited as us to know that come the 1st of December, whether fully vaccinated
or not, you can be back on the tracks enjoying the sport you love the most and motorcycling as we
know it will be returning.

This is of course subject to the NSW restrictions at that point in time. Activity from the 1st December,
will look like the below:

• Club activity can resume for all participants whether vaccinated or not.
• No person limit for major recreation facilities (which motorcycle venues are classed as). However, a 1 person per 2sqm rule will apply.
• Clubs will require an updated COVID safety plan.
• Community sports permitted for all staff, spectators and participants.
• Travel between Greater Sydney and Regional NSW permitted.

It is our strong suggestion that clubs and members keep up to date with all information shared by the
below organisations:

NSW Office of Sport: https://www.sport.nsw.gov.au/covid-19-information
NSW Government: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/easing-covid-19-restrictions

Considering the 2021 Community Sport restrictions and the impact that it has had on your ability to
participate in the sport you love, MNSW in consultation with Motorcycling Australia are pleased to
confirm an extension of active annual licenses for members affected by the 2021 Government
restrictions.

All eligible annual licenses active within the NSW lockdown will automatically receive a 3-
month extension. Members do not have to apply for the extension, it will be updated on your Ridernet
profile. Our developers are working hard to implement these extensions and shortly you will be able to
view your new licence with the updated expiry date through the Motorcycling Australia App or you can
purchase a replacement licence via your Ridernet profile.

Links to the App are below:

• The iOS app is available via the membership profile as per below or online

Like all members, we are keen for motorcycle riding as we once knew it to resume. If you have any questions, we ask that you contact the office via phone 02 8378 0790 or via email

Aussie TV star Kate Peck is leading a drastic revamp of Motorcycling New South Wales following her recent appointment as president of the governing body.

Aussie TV star Kate Peck is leading a drastic revamp of Motorcycling New South Wales following her recent appointment as president of the governing body.

Peck is best known in motor racing circles for her TV work, having been heavily involved in Network Ten’s Supercars coverage during its most recent stint as the free-to-air broadcaster, which ended at the conclusion of last season.

However she has now turned her hand to administration, landing the president role at Motorcycling NSW, which oversees two-wheel sport in Australia’s most populated state.

The new role follows her appointment to the Motorcycling Australia Women’s Committee earlier this year and dovetail with her work on the TV coverage of the Australian Off Road Championship.

According to Peck, female participation in two-wheel sport will be a specific focus during her time in the top MNSW job.

“After I joined the Motorcycling Australia Women’s Committee early this year, I was made aware a position available on the MNSW Board,” said Peck.

“I can proudly say that the MNSW business currently has a 75 per cent female workforce, however there is still not enough female presence in motorsport and motorcycling, on any level yet alone at the board level.

“Any way I can encourage more participation of women, I will. I would love to see the support and expansion of female classes within the different motorcycle disciplines. If you can’t see it, you can’t be it.”

Her first task as president is to oversee a drastic revamp with the entire board being replaced.

She’s casting a wide net, too, with an open call to anybody based in NSW to apply for the five unpaid elected director roles.

“This is a unique and exciting opportunity – the chance to join me as a director on the board of MNSW,” added Peck.

“You will have a first-hand impact on bringing motorcycling in the great state of NSW into the future. That future is bright – new racing facilities, a focus on diversity, and endless potential for the growth and development of our dynamic sport and its dedicated and enthusiastic community.”

Nominations close on September 14.
