Baw Baw Cycling Projects Reference Group

Baw Baw Shire Council is looking for passionate community members to help identify opportunities for future cycling projects across the Shire.

Cycling comes in many formats, from BMX to criterium and pump tracks to road races, and different cyclists have different interests.

To ensure all bike riders have the opportunity to share their ideas, thoughts and feedback on the types of cycling infrastructure they believe Baw Baw needs now and into the future, Council is forming the Baw Baw Cycling Project Reference Group (PRG).

The desire to form the PRG, which will work with Council Officers to explore options for improved cycling facilities, with a priority to provide pump track facilities, BMX facilities, and/or a criterium track, this comes following the discontinuation of the Logan Park Cycling Centre of Excellence Project.

The project was discontinued due to the unviable ground conditions of the proposed site.

Although the Cycling Centre of Excellence Project has been discontinued, Baw Baw Shire remains committed to providing high-quality recreation infrastructure for all community members.

Through the PRG, Council aims to work with Baw Baw's cycling community to set the wheels in motion on a new set of exciting projects. The PRG will also act as a conduit for all cycling related project currently underway.

Expressions of interest for the Cycling PRG closed at 8:30am Monday, 19 February 2024.
