Multiple outlets report that councils in Western Australia are being granted new powers to manage e-bike behaviour in local areas. The measures include the ability to establish “slow” zones and “no-go” zones for e-bikes, aiming to reduce conflict and frustrations involving rogue or unauthorized use. Councils can also enforce rules requiring e-bikes to use designated parking spaces rather than parking informally or in restricted areas. While the articles focus on calming concerns from residents and improving compliance, they describe the changes mainly as additional regulatory tools for councils rather than a direct statewide ban or single enforcement action. The reporting is aligned in that the same core powers—creating controlled zones and directing where e-bikes may be parked—are central to the crackdown. The implementation details and which councils will use the powers immediately are not specified in the provided summaries.
