Consultation update - September 2022
In December 2021, Council consulted the community to understand the demand for bike facilities in Maroondah and sought feedback on the proposed creation of a purpose-built bike track at Evelyn Reserve in Ringwood North.
Council thanks the community for the feedback provided. The feedback received from the community found that most residents supported the creation of purpose-built bike tracks in Maroondah, but Evelyn Reserve was not supported as an appropriate location for a bike track facility. As such, Council is not proceeding with this proposal at Evelyn Reserve.
Council has also reviewed other reserves in the Ringwood North area, including those highlighted during consultations, to determine if an alternative site exists. At this stage, based on a range of factors and constraints, an additional bike track facility within Ringwood North is not currently practicable.
In addition to the community consultation for bike track facilities in Maroondah in 2021, Council has recently completed consultation on extreme sport activities in Maroondah, including BMX and mountain biking.
Of note, this consultation found that there is currently no significant demand for additional extreme sport facilities across Maroondah and instead identified the importance of Council improving the existing extreme sport facility locations across the municipality. The first upgrade of an extreme sport facility was recently completed at Yarrunga Reserve in Croydon Hills, and the feedback from the community has been very positive.
Council will continue to improve its existing extreme sports facilities over the coming years in line with the feedback received from the community. Information relating to these improvements and any community engagement will be available on our website and social media platforms. Any community engagement or feedback in relation to these upgrades will also be communicated to the community.
