From all I’ve heard this will be an outstanding project. I know a few of the Lads involved and their vision and passion for riding means the wait will be well worth it.

I knows about it but unfortunately am forbidden to disclose anything more than what you've already been told, there will be much excite once it's all revealed.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
Why the need to be secret?

Oh... and I'll be looking for new friends 
I don't think Central Coast or Wollongong qualify as Sydney personally, and by the sounds of it the Wollongong trails are in the early stages of lobbying.
They're claiming gravity and downhill as features of this new secret location, so I'd expect a fair amount of elevation. Perhaps the foothills of the Blue Mountains? Or maybe something around Kuringai?

+120km of trails so can't be Belrose. Can't wait to find out where. This one has certainly slipped under the radar.
Maybe around Mooney Mooney/Brooklyn? A lot of elevation to play with there, still qualifies as Sydney probably, train station and food etc.
Not sure what, if any national park restrictions are a thing here.

Should be interesting for sure...
- Not Belrose, unless they're tying in the entire Garigal, Cascades & Terrey Hills into that "120km". And isn't Dirt Art already involved in Belrose?
- Perhaps The Moo gets a huge upgrade and links into all of the above?
- Unlikely to be in the Gong area, because Greenvalleys (which is where the current picture on the website is from)
So only leaves Central Coast area...
- Perhaps a giant plan for Brisbane Waters/Umina/Blackwall/Bouddi/Kincumber area?
- Maybe on the other side in and around Mt White/Glenworth Valley?
All complete speculation at this point, but bloody excited to find out. Especially if it's Sydney/North, as being in Hornsby I freaking LOVE Greenvalleys, but freaking DON'T LOVE the 2.5 - 3 hour drive!
Bring it on Synergy, gonna be huge!

Time will tell. All good candidate locations.
Add possibly somewhere near Yellomundee which has some elevation change and mix of MTB'ing around there already plus cheaper land.

@Mr Crudley Ah true, and Synergy have a long experience with the BMCC through working on the Knapsack trail & Oaks Sniggle...
Haha, if they link into Oaks/Andos, that's 100km right there! (Dunno if Oaks would be considered bike-park though!)

There is some room to turn those waterbars into the gnar with excavators I guess.
I think the real problem would be coping with hordes of unhappy people that don't want to ride a sled of a bike back out of the infamous Bedford Creek climb. They aren't going to like that one.
Come on!! We have been lobbying for years but still not turning dirt. I hope we are past the early stages:

Sounds like this is going to be in private land like a GreenValkeys set up.
It is great to see Synergy involved. They did some initial design stuff here in the Gong in the early days to help our tourism group understand the huge potential of MTB
