United Motorcycle Council NSW

The United Motorcycle Council of New South Wales has been meeting since April 2009, and was officially launched in May 2009.

Primarily the council has formed to promote a sociably responsible motorcycle culture and create a platform to raise and debate issues affecting motorcycle riders and motorcycle clubs. The following are the UMC’s current objectives:

   1. To educate the general public about the dangers of enactment of laws and regulations that unfairly and unjustly contradict the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

   2. To mobilize public opinion against laws and regulations affecting the lifestyle and freedom of citizens including motorcycle riders, motorcycle clubs and the general public.

   3. To meet with relevant opinion leaders in the community in order to raise awareness and ultimately progress UMC’s aim and objectives.

   4. To provide a forum for the peaceful resolution of differences between members.

   5. To support members, organisations and individuals in their legal fight against laws and regulations deemed by the UMC as unfair and unjust.

   6. To organise public events and protests as the UMC deems necessary in accordance with the law.

   7. To print and publish any material the UMC considers necessary to support its objectives in accordance with the law.
