We are working through the harvest scheduling now as we work on new trail plans. We will do our best to work around harvest plans while ensuring there is a whole lot more quality trail on offer. The reality is much of the existing trail network will be logged in the next 1-2 years. On a positive...

Our current plan is to retain access fees as they are, while investing significantly into new and improved trails, improved amenities, and additional benefits such as a full time bike patrol/medical service. While we would all like to reduce or remove access fees, the reality is that it isn’t...

The current lease term isn’t workable for that level of investment. Let’s see what the future holds, though. It’s certainly something we’d love to explore further.

It’s not viable for any organisation to run at a loss for long, which has been the challenge for the park in the past. If you're asking if the park is going to be run as a commercial entity, then yes. This is the approach that was agreed upon as noted previously. We are confident that with...

The park operation will be leased to Elevation Parks- our sister bike park operational company. There is a long history and a lot of work gone into reaching this point, but in short this model will give the park the best chance to thrive going forward.

To answer some of the above questions/comments- - Alpine Shire Council did just take back the management of the park, but this was only an interim measure until they found a new operator. - The current plan is to start the new lease to Elevation Parks on July 1 this year. This is pending...

Worth noting that our plan was based around retaining and upgrading the existing black and double black trails (in most cases). It’s our understanding that in most instances this isn’t the case with the current plan. The plan we developed had the support of indigenous groups, but this support...

Hey guys, While it is a bummer, the cancellation has zero impact on the Creswick Trails Project. Our teams are busy out in the hills creating trails, with everything on schedule for the planned opening in later 2024.

Can confirm that we are working on a bike park project in Greater Sydney. Unfortunately we can’t share more details for now. We will be able to share more once we have everything in place to launch. We’re not in the business of hyping things up before they’re ready.

Each to their own. We believe there is a place for commercial bike parks- having worked in this industry for years I can safely say that you will never develop the style, intensity, volume and difficulty of trails in a public setting that we can do privately. To do so we have to charge people...

We must have missed the bit where we confirmed that we were involved in this project. We don’t sub contract our trail building, so can only assume you’ve got us confused with someone else.

We don’t do grifting (or unfounded hype for that matter). If we end up doing a commercial bike park in NSW we won’t be messing about. The public would hear about it when we know we can deliver a product consistent with the reputation we have earned from Maydena.

You do realise we had absolutely nothing to do with Glenworth Valley Bike Park, right? The project was driven by Synergy Trails. We can’t speak for the Synergy crew, this was their project.

So, entirely hypothetically if we actually were building a major gravity-based bike park with tech, flow, and jump trails near Sydney we shouldn’t expect a visit from you guys then? You guys do know we built Maydena Bike Park, right? MBP has arguably the most diverse trail network in...

Correct. The North Owen trails utilise steep, narrow ridge lines, and literally use up all the functional real estate available.
