Out of curiosity, are you a member of the Yarra Ranges (YRMTB) advocacy group?I was talking about the halt on proceedings at Silvan.
Nothing can be done in there because it's going through 'the process'

I'm not, I'll happily become a part of it if you can kindly point me in the right direction.Out of curiosity, are you a member of the Yarra Ranges (YRMTB) advocacy group?

That's what we do. We get a race in on PV managed ground when we ask nicely and work with both the MTB guidelines and the relevant park management plan. Simple but not easy.What i am suggesting is that a standard template/ document is used by all MTB groups in their dealings with Parks and that we need to carry more of the load so Parks dont have to. Dont come with issues or requests come with solutions and plans .
There isn't one http://www.mtba.asn.au/about/contact though I'd be happy to nominate your good self!!Great info in this thread. Does anyone know who the current mtba Vic rep is? Would be great to get their opinion.

So there is $30,000,000 going into cycling in Victoria this year. It also says they are making it easier to build infrastructure and run events.
So the money is there and the red tape is being stripped back. We are also approaching an election. It's a pretty good time to kick this off I think.
That exact thought was just going through my head.Yep election year... 10m on cycling and 20m on tv ads to tell you about how much they investing in cycling....
Sorry bloke but by my reading of the Action Plan for this year...it's already allocated and little of it is for MTB. It's mostly about community connector and tourist trails plus a whole heap of words that justify why some government departments are getting a budget allocation for 'cycling'. Most of it seems to be for wages and consultants to produce documents, promotional material, data and more policy.Check this out;
