The PDCC aims to encourage people of all ages to actively participate either competitively or recreationally. All cyclists will be given a fair go regardless of ability, race, gender or religion.
We emphasise enjoyment in participating which is more important than winning and aim to guide riders pursing an interest in competing into pathways for development.
The inclusive club culture, encourages a learning experience with special attention being paid to our junior riders to ensure no bullying takes place.
All cyclists racing competitively must be members of Cycling Australia, who’s rules and regulations will be enforced to ensure fairness and safety in racing.
The club will ensure that an adequate number of officials have Working with Children accreditations and coaching qualifications.
Selected junior teams will be accompanied by a manager and a girls chaperone when competing away from home.
Communication between officials and riders will always be open, fair and courteous.
Unsporting behaviour and bad language will not be tolerated. The club has a disciplinary sub-committee and disputes will be handled calmly without hostility. An issue should be addressed to the Club President who chairs that Committee, or to the Race Director.
The PDCC will comply with the Government of Western Australia’s Department of Health and its smoking restrictions in outdoor public places and sporting venues policy and condone the consumption of alcohol during the conduct of events.
Smoking restrictions prohibit smoking, including e-cigarettes within 10m of a sporting event.
These laws apply to:
- Local government parks and gardens
- State owned facilities
- Playground equipment, eateries and temporary sporting venues
Volunteers of sporting clubs are not expected to enforce the smoking or alcohol restrictions, however can respectfully bring awareness of the restrictions and advice of the venues perimeter.
The City of Rockingham has appointed environmental health officers (local rangers) to assist with the enforcement with a $200 infringement notice being issued.
All road races will have approved Traffic Management Plans with applications for temporary suspension of the Road Traffic Act/Regulations duly signed by local council, local police and Chief Superintendent of Traffic. The appropriate signage and adequate marshals will be provided at each event.
