Take a look at...  https://opencouncildata.org/ perhaps. There is a mailing
list (quiet at the moment); a set of standards for a bunch of open data (
http://standards.opencouncildata.org/); etc.

There isn't a specific one for cycling infrastructure; but its a good model
they can perhaps follow; and the community imports what is
relevant/useful. There are a lot of victorian councils they could get some
advice from on a lot of these issues, which may help.
