Bicycle Arrival Station

The James Gormley Bike Arrival Station which was dedicated to the memory of former Transport Officer with The Office of Environmental Sustainability James Gormley, who died in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, is a jointly funded project between Monash and the State Government.  The station provides a range of amenities for cyclists such as change rooms, showers and security and is funded under the Local Area Access program (LAAP) – a scheme that provides funding for small scale infrastructure projects that aim to improve walking, cycling and public transport within the community.

The station is the first facility of its kind outside a CBD area in Australia and continues to be a hit with more than 1000 Clayton staff and students registering as users!

The access card system shows that on average 70-80 cyclists use the BAS each day.  This is an under-estimation however, as cyclists are often seen holding the door open for others to enter.  Be sure to swipe every time you access the facility so that we can see exactly how many cyclists are using it and, if it is consistently high, we can start to plan and design another BAS!  The facility can handle 100 bicycles – so users wanting to ride to campus and use the BAS, will need to register.
