NSW shared operator approval application

The challenge

From August 2026, shared e-bike schemes in Sydney need operator approval from Transport for NSW, followed by separate operating authorisations from each council. Without approval, an operator can't keep its bikes on the street.

What Adam did

Adam coordinated the application: mapping every stakeholder, tracking tasks and owners across the business, preparing the data specification and communications, and planning the follow-on authorisations with the City of Sydney, Inner West, Woollahra and Waverley councils.

The result

The business has one plan from application to council authorisation, with every input, owner and decision tracked.
