Commercial e-scooter Hire Services in the Bundaberg Region

In April 2021, Bundaberg Regional Council approved a commercial permit relating to the provision of an e-scooter hire service to the general public within specified riding zones throughout the Bundaberg Region.

Rideables (e-scooters, e-skateboards, and segways) have quickly become a popular mode of transportation and are seen as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to public or private transport.

In Queensland, all e-scooters (privately owned or hired for a fee) are subject to government regulations that are enforced by the Queensland Police Service (QPS). Read more about Rideable safety and rules in Queensland here. The State Government has recently announced reforms. You can read about them here.

Council is seeking community feedback on your experiences and views of commercially operated e-scooters (not privately owned e-scooters).

This feedback will inform Council’s decision surrounding the continuation of the commercial permit that allows Rideable companies to operate in the Bundaberg Region.

    Community members can have their say on the use of commercial e-scooters in the Bundaberg Region through a survey.

    Bundaberg Regional Council is seeking feedback on community experiences and views of the e-scooters which have been operating commercially in the Bundaberg Region since a permit was first awarded in 2021.

    This feedback will assist Council in the future management of this commercial permit to ensure these operations aligns with community expectations.

    Council Sport and Recreation portfolio spokesperson Carmen McEneany said the survey would be a chance for Council to re-evaluate how the community viewed the presence of paid e-scooters in the Bundaberg Region.

    “Neuron Mobility launched its international operation in Bundaberg and Bargara during the Easter holidays in 2021,” Cr McEneany said.

    “Thousands of users jumped on board in the first week and by August the service had doubled the ride zone within the region.

    “Since then, Council has undertaken important community surveys like this to ensure we continue to meet the changing needs of our community and that residents feel they are given a chance to voice their opinion and they are listened to.”

    Neuron statistics from May 2024 showed there were 62,859 unique riders with 687,963 trips taken since the launch in 2021.

    Community members are encouraged to share their views on the use of commercial e-scooters within the Bundaberg Region by taking part in the survey.

    The survey can be found here.
