Following on from a previous article in Eumundi Voice – The e-bike debate – the Qld Government has now introduced new rules aimed at curbing dangerous behaviour and reducing the risks posed by illegal or high-powered e-bikes. After many community complaints, particularly about young children riding the more dangerous models, the focus is clearly on stopping behaviour that puts lives at risk.
The changes have been introduced in stages. From 1 July 2026 new rules applied to the bikes themselves, including requirements around power output, pedal assistance and speed. Further rules commenced from 31 August 2026, focusing more on who can ride, age limits, licence requirements and available exemptions.
The main rule is that riders of e-bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards and e-unicycles must now be at least 16yo and hold a valid licence, with a learner licence being the minimum requirement.
There are some important exemptions. These include... To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_150/15 ...

On May 15-17 this year we had an amazing opportunity to attend the Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN) camp in Lennox Heads, NSW. It was an incredible weekend where we met many amazing people our age, built meaningful connections, and developed valuable life skills.
The RYPEN program was recommended by a teacher at our school, St Teresa’s Catholic College. Before applying, we didn’t know much about the program, but it seemed to be extremely beneficial for teenagers, and it certainly exceeded our expectations. The camp was a fun and unique way to meet different people and learn new leadership skills.
Throughout the weekend, there were many activities from guest speakers to team activities and connection building. The volunteers looking after us were incredible people that were always looking to promote positivity, inclusion and encourage confidence. Activities included karaoke, trivia night, relays and team building exercises, allowing us to make many new connections.
The experience left us with many benefits. As a result, we developed better confidence when speaking in front of people and groups, as well as learning about the positives and negatives that can arise in relationships. Furthermore, we learnt many usable and effective leadership skills and how to connect and relate with strangers.
RYPEN is an experience that we will never forget. We made many new friends that we are still in contact with and learnt skills that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. We would recommend and encourage other young people to apply for the RYPEN program next year. It’s an amazing experience that you truly cannot miss out on.
