$2.5m in federal funding is now confirmed for the West Coast- this is for the construction of Mt Owen trails (Queenstown), which we designed as a 35km trail network with a big mountain style. The design documents are publicly available via West Coast Council. This funding also covers design of trails in the Heemskirk Ranges outside of Zeehan. We are starting this trail network design now. The construction of Mt Owen is yet to be awarded, but we’d expect a start of works in spring and completion early 2021 all being well.
Maydena Bike Park has commenced a major capital works program. The details of this will be revealed late next week. The investment level is similar to that of the West Coast, which is all privately funded.
In terms of Nationals, all we can say is that an announcement is due Wednesday next week. Hypothetically, if Maydena we’re hosting it would be on brand new XCO and DH courses.
