History

The #rideburnside trial has now concluded. The track is now in storage awaiting a Council decision on its future.

The portable pump track, #rideburnside, will be temporarily placed in storage until the Council undertakes a workshop to determine its future. Burnside CEO, Chris Cowley, had committed to finding future locations for the pump track but has not been able to as the issue has become highly divisive and emotive in the community. There is both support and opposition for the use of the pump track in the City.Your ward councillors welcome your feedback on the track. Find out who your local councillors are, and their contact details, at https://bit.ly/3K3tfzM
The community will be provided with an update on the future of the track as soon as a decision has been reached.
