An elected Coalition Government will provide $100,000 to build a BMX and mountain bike jumps track, giving young people in Kilmore a permanent home to enjoy their pursuit.
Federal Member for Nicholls Sam Birrell said this funding will address a long standing issue for the town.
“The lack of a permanent facility has led to unauthorised bush tracks being built on Monument Hill, an area with high conservation and cultural heritage values,” Mr Birrell said.
“The community, and Mitchell Shire Council have been proactive in looking for a solution and vacant council land has been identified as a suitable site for a permanent jumps track. We just need to get on with building it, and that will happen under a Coalition Government.”
Funding this BMX and mountain bike jumps track is a win for the youth of Kilmore and will give riders a permanent home to enjoy their pursuit.
It will also have positive outcomes for the environment at Monument Hill, which hold special significant to the Taungurung people
“The 76 hectare Monument Hill Reserve is a place for passive recreation and while bike riding is allowed on formal trails, the ‘off track’ trails are unmanaged and impact the environment. The best solution for everyone is to provide a permanent jumps track.”
This commitment is part of the Coalition’s plan to strengthen our local communities and get our country Back on Track.
