Project typeConstruction
Project value$480,000
Project commencementRidemore will commence works on site from around 14 January 2021.

Contractor nameRidemore Pty Ltd

Recreational cycling for fitness and wellbeing will receive a boost in Burnie as Council prepare to design and construct a new bicycle pump track and mountain bike trails at the View Road Reserve.

Council appointed Ridemore Pty Ltd to design and build the tracks which offers an alternative to the initial concept design. The Ridemore design offers the following key benefits for users with a range of cycling skills and experience :

Easy access to the pump track which is to be at the lower (carpark) level
A separate children's zone within the pump track
Reinvigorate the existing dirt piles used by the Burnie Challenge to create dirt jumps
Three descent mountain bike trails on the hillside above the carpark that provide an exciting experience for mountain bike riders separate from the shared pathway around the Reserve.

Construction work is due to start in mid-January 2021, and will be of a moderate nature and should not adversely affect the amenity of the reserve and its surroundings. Council will write to the residents who live nearby the reserve to update them on the project and its features and will continue to update the community via this page as the project progresses.
