COMMUNITY members are being asked to have their say on plans for a proposed bike park in Bannockburn.<\/p>\n
A concept has been designed by staff at Golden Plains Shire following consultation with the community.<\/p>\n
Features of the plan include three different tracks to accommodate different riders and a jump line with a wooden deck start point.<\/p>\n
Community input identified that having tracks for different skill levels was important as well as shaded rest areas, seating, car parking, connecting paths, a bike repair station and a drinking fountain.<\/p>\n
Golden Plains Shire mayor Cr Brett Cunningham said he was eager to see the input come together in the proposed plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunity feedback has been integral in the development of the concept design of the Bannockburn Bike Park, and I thank the community members that took the time to tell us what they wanted to see included as part of the design throughout the consultation process last year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCouncil welcomes residents\u2019 input on the concept design and we look forward to finalising the design with the support of the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Bannockburn Skate Park is an impressive recreation facility for young people in our Shire and the construction of the proposed bike park will complete the precinct.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a community supported design, council can begin to advocate at a State and Federal government level for funding to deliver the proposed bike park.\u201d<\/p>\n
