Region’s escarpment mountain bike ambitions a step closer

The Toowoomba Region’s ambition to be a nationally significant mountain biking destination is a step closer following this week’s Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) December Ordinary meeting.

Council on Tuesday (December 17) endorsed the Toowoomba and Lockyer Valley Escarpment Mountain Bike Master Plan 2019-26.

TRC Parks and Recreation Services portfolio leader Cr Joe Ramia said the endorsement of the Master Plan allowed Council to continue with design development, construction and maintenance of proposed mountain bike trails.

“It also supports the implementation of critical components of Council’s Toowoomba Region Trails Network Strategy 2016.Cr Ramia said Council had worked in collaboration with the Lockyer Valley Regional Council (LVRC), with support from the Queensland Government, to develop a master plan that set the future direction of mountain bike activities along The Range escarpment,” Cr Ramia said.
