Can you legally ride an e-bike on a footpath in Australia?

Can you legally ride an e-bike on a footpath in Australia depends on whether the e-bike is legal and which state you are in, because footpath rules vary by state. First, the e-bike must be a legal 250W pedalec that complies with EN15194, where motor assistance only works when pedalling and cuts out at 25 km/h. Illegal 500W+ throttle e-bikes cannot legally be ridden anywhere in public, including footpaths. For legal 250W e-bikes, which are classified as bicycles, footpath rules are the same as for regular bicycles. In Queensland, you can ride any bicycle including a legal e-bike on a footpath for any age, with a speed limit of 25 km/h and you must give way to pedestrians. In Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania, adults generally cannot ride on a footpath unless they are supervising a child under 16, or the footpath is designated as a shared path, or they have a disability or medical exemption. Children under 16 can ride on footpaths in these states. In the ACT and Western Australia, bicycles and legal e-bikes are allowed on footpaths unless otherwise signed, but you must keep left and give way to pedestrians. In all states, shared paths, which are signed with both pedestrian and bicycle symbols, are open to legal e-bikes. If you ride a legal e-bike on a footpath where allowed, you must ride at a safe speed, give way to pedestrians, and not endanger others. Local councils can also ban bicycles from certain high-pedestrian malls.
