Update September 2021

Over the past 12 months, Council has consulted with the community about bike riding opportunities in Mylor.

After analysis of the information from the community and additional discussions with stakeholders, we believe that a bike track with jumps that caters for both beginner and more advanced level of riders will meet the needs of the local community.

Council staff and relevant stakeholders have undertaken significant investigations into various locations for the bike track. As previously communicated, Sherry Park adjacent the Mylor Oval has been selected as the most appropriate location for such a facility.

We are also pleased to confirm that Council has received funding from the Federal Government through the Government Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program to plan and construct the track.

The planning phase of this project is progressing with a small group of stakeholders forming a ‘Bike Reference Group’ to assist with the planning the design of the track.

The track design and location will trigger the removal of the old cricket nets that are currently located in Sherry Park and planning is underway for the relocation of these nets.

Demolition of the nets and construction of the new pump track starting in the coming weeks. Works are expected to take a few months and will be carried out with minimal disruption to residents and users of the oval and playground.
