You have my sympathies, as this is something I understand.

Oh I know...but it doesn't hurt to dream. Such. Tight fisted bunch of jerks. Could be a good idea for NPWS to consider for a certain local ride area as an easy install for kids/skills area near the entry.
Your state sounds shit. Always been fixed here in the public system no worries and excellent outcomes.

AB Big4 was one of the first to get one of those Pumptracks. Quiet a few other have them now.
The guy who brought them to Aus is from SA, not cheap... around 80k for the black wooden layouts IIRC.

rode up bowden spur rd near king lake on the cx with the cx-girls, i had done 2 laps of the mtb loop before but the whole drag 5km @9% /seems to go on, the 30-40km/hr headwind didn’t help, was freezing by the top, just too exposed

Would be curious how the expense compares to the alternative in professional construction?
A wise council could just roster some of their road gang team on to make up the parts. Or is this a special voodoo concrete that regular concrete makers can't manipulate? Is I held together by glue? The pole of concrete...
I used to(20 years ago) work for a mob doing playgrounds for council's and McDonald's, even back then $80k didn't go to far. A pump track for that amount probably looks quite cheap to a council official

Dunno, 80k was the price for a standard wooden setup about ~4-5 years ago... probably a lot more now.
Bloody solid and heavy construction, each section was a good 4 man lift.
You would think the concrete versions would be pretty similar to the skatepark concrete.
I've never had a go or even seen a concrete modular track myself, but if you had the moulds and the special voodoo concrete mixed with gipsy tears... looks like it can be stuck down with no nails

Definitely agree, 80k goes nowhere !
After the Fat Tyre Festival about 5 years ago, they moved the Modular Pump Track from the main street to the Melrose Tennis courts about 75m away, it stayed there for a few months. It was a massive hit and while I don't know what actually went on behind the scenes to keep it there, I'm sure they tried... though 80k would have went a long way on the dirt trails built by vollies.
