- Road safety
- Legislation
- Crash barriers
- Parking
- Tolling

How does the MCC work?
The MCC is run along democratic lines. Member clubs raise
issues from their own meetings via their delegates. These items are placed on the agenda of the MCC. The decision on whether an issue will be taken up or not is determined by a vote of the delegates.
Council Meetings
First Monday of each month at 7:30pm
Normally, first Monday of the month, but not on a Public Holiday Monday, so it moves forward to the second Monday.
There is no meeting in January.
Meeting Venue
Meetings are conducted at Ryde Ex-Services Club (Bowling clubrooms)
724 Victoria Rd, Ryde, NSW 2112
(entrance via Eagle Street)
Good food
The MCC cordially extend an invitation to any rider that wishes to attend these meetings.
Come earlier to enjoy a meal, a drink & excellent company.
How are issues advanced?
After members vote to pursue an objective, club representatives work together on developing a solution. Unaligned riders may assist with this process, but member groups are kept informed of progress at all times.
How do you get involved?
MCC membership is open to all clubs, associations and ride groups but not to individuals. Each affiliated club has two delegate seats on the MCC. Membership is free and voluntary. Come and take your seat!
If you want to find out more, contact our Club Liaison Officer. More information is available here.
Why join?
Our needs as road users are rarely considered by those who draft legislation, change regulations or implement road safety campaigns. If we don't work at maintaining amd improving legislation, regulations and campaigns, you will find that united we ride, divided we walk.
