The overview of the courses was released in December, revealing elite road race starts in Helensburgh, along with an inland loop – Mount Keira – named after the biggest climb of the race and a city circuit including the punchy climb of Mount Pleasant. At the end of March it was then revealed that the elite and U23 women's race would take on the city circuit six times, while the men's elite race would tackle it 12 times before the final pass of the Wollongong finish line.
