Project update #3: May 2020
Pioneer Valley presents great development potential
In 2018, Mackay Regional Council engaged consultants Otium Planning and World Trail to investigate how the Mackay region’s mountain bike industry could be better enhanced, promoted and managed. The key finding was the Pioneer Valley presents great development potential for a nationally and internationally recognised mountain bike park.
Council endorsed further work to explore the feasibility and economic impact of the trail development around Eungella and Finch Hatton.
Mackay Regional Council has been briefed about the outcomes of the Feasibility Study on May 20, 2020. Council is supportive of progressing this project further.
The next steps will involve:
- negotiations with Native Title claimants, land owners and stakeholders and government agencies to seek approvals for the proposed trail network
- ground truthing
- ecological and cultural heritage assessment
- secure funding
- detailed design
