Community engagement update
In April-May 2026, we sought feedback from the community on two options – upgrading the track where it is, or expanding it – what features an upgraded track could have.
Overall, there was strong and consistent support for upgrading the existing pump track, with a clear majority of participants favouring expansion beyond the current footprint.
Participants consistently identified a need for core supporting amenities, particularly drinking fountains, seating and shaded areas, bike repair stations, and additional planting and landscaping.
There was also some concern about overdevelopment, with participants emphasising the importance of preserving green open space and limiting excessive hard infrastructure.

Council will present the draft Concept Plan for feedback in the second half of 2026.

A sequence of steep rollers with gaps between them, designed for more advanced riders to jump or pump smoothly over the peaks.
Banked corners that make turning easier and more fun by supporting riders as they ride through curves at speed.
Smooth changes in slope and direction that link different track elements together, helping riders flow through the track.
A series of small rounded humps that riders can roll over or pump to build and maintain speed without pedalling.
