Project update #16 - June 12, 2023

Stage 1 under construction

Mayor Greg Williamson, councillors, and the contractors responsible for the delivery of stage one of the Pioneer Valley Mountain Bike Trails project, J Mac Constructions, World Trail and Bike Tracks Australia, were onsite at the Finch Hatton Trailhead today to turn the first sod of the stage one works.

Mackay company J Mac Constructions is building the trailhead infrastructure which includes the entry statement, picnic areas with shelters, amenity blocks, bike wash and open recreational space.

Renowned trail builder, World Trail, is constructing our stage one trail network in the spectacular mountain ranges of Finch Hatton. There will be 16 trails in total measuring 13.5 kilometres. This network will be Australia’s largest cluster of airflow trails.

Bike Tracks Australia is designing and constructing the pump track at the Finch Hatton Trailhead site. The design will include many exciting features and accommodate riders of all levels.

Stage one is expected to be completed before Christmas, weather permitting.
