There was some guys on here who were using the lift as a shuttle, think it was about a year or so ago. Not sure if they still allow bikes on.
The chairlift was running with bike access for a 3 month trial period in the back half of last year, the mtb community definitely rallied together to either get themselves onto it or leave feedback, hopefully it progresses and we see more access enabled soon.

Obviously Flowtown at Falls was built w the intention of shuttling cos access from the main road is good.
Most of the rest of the tracks could be using 1 or 2 chairlifts , it wont happen though.
Bright would be a good spot though cos its busy and the shuttle road is pretty rugged and dusty

I however am very normal. Trust me.
Yes they do have a NIMBY problem.
Imagine the general tourism especially year round if they a chairlift in from the township to the summit of Donna Buang, but they appear not to want the tourist dollar as someone might drive or ride a bike past their house!

I can sort of understand though, people in Yackandandah and Beechworth are starting to get resentful as rates, house prices, rents and traffic have all gone up since; [amongst other factors eg Back roads program and too much money in Melbourne thanks to Chinese money laundering ] , mountainbiking has come to town.
Shop keepers, estate agents and the shire are happy though.
I am neutral since I live 12 km out but when an Epic mtbike trail and the definite railtrail between the two towns ever happens, things will go ballistic.

Even if mtb were responsible for increased housing prices... I sort of get the rates and traffic complaint... but for house values it's all to their benefit. As long as you're buying and selling in the same market and increase is generally good.
Renters might feel the pinch a bit... but in theory increased traffic should translate to better jobs and more jobs.

hardcore NIMBYs.
Even though a well-placed chairlift would benefit the town by visitors pumping money into the local economy, and even providing some employment.
