The existing pump track at Cruickshank Park is tired and in need of renewal. An upgrade was identified in the Stony Creek Future Directions Plan (2020) and reinforced in the Maribyrnong Bike Sport Infrastructure and Development Plan (2023). The aim is to ensure the pump track remains safe, functional and enjoyable for the community.

Council is seeking feedback on:

• whether the pump track should be upgraded within its existing footprint, or
• whether Council should explore a larger pump track footprint, subject to future funding

We are also asking for feedback on:

• preferred track features
• what design elements or supporting features are most important (such as seating, planting or bike facilities).

Two options are being presented:

• Option 1: An upgraded pump track within the current footprint
• Option 2: A larger pump track that would expand or realign the track within the site

These examples are illustrative only and have been prepared to help the community understand the potential size, layout and implications of each option.

No.

No decision has been made about the final footprint or design. This engagement is being undertaken before Council decides how to proceed, so community feedback can inform the next steps.

Council in partnership with the Victorian Government has funding allocated for concept design work for an upgrade.

Construction will be considered as part of future budget considerations.

The community can influence:

• the preferred pump track footprint
• whether Council should explore a larger footprint (subject to funding)
• design refinements and features
• landscaping and other features like seating, drinking fountains etc.

The community can't influence:

• the broader direction set by adopted Stony Creek Future Directions Plan
• the existing project budget
• removal of the pump track altogether.

You can share your feedback by:

• completing the online survey
• attending one of the on‑site pop‑up sessions at the pump track
• returning a hard‑copy survey provided to nearby households.
