Council Turns Around on Bike Tracks | Australia News

Bayside City Council is investing nearly $700,000 to build two new pump tracks — one in Elsternwick Park South, another in Hurlingham Park — after flipping its stance from last year when it tried to shut down a popular makeshift bike course. This shift comes after a petition with over 1,100 signatures pushed the council to explore recreation infrastructure, addressing locals’ long-standing need for safe, dedicated spaces to ride. The tracks will offer mountain bikers and BMX riders a fun, free, and inclusive outdoor outlet — especially important after months of indoor routines. Designs are still preliminary and require community feedback and council approval, with construction not expected until 2027. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
