SUBMISSIONS to Mornington Peninsula Shire’s plans for a Recreational Mountain Bike and BMX Facilities Strategy close 31 May.
The need for a strategy followed the unauthorised building of BMX jumps and courses on public land. The shire hired consultants @leisure Planners after complaints about the number of BMX tracks springing up on public land throughout the peninsula, particularly during COVID restrictions.
The consultants have been told to prepare a strategy to “ensure dirt jumps, skills parks and pump tracks are in appropriate locations and designed together with the community”.
