Work to develop a proposed BMX park in Diamond Creek has taken another step with Nillumbik Shire Council engaging specialist designers ‘The Trail Collective’ to develop concept designs for the project.
Nillumbik Mayor Frances Eyre said The Trail Collective would work with local BMX enthusiasts on a design of the potential new park, building on community feedback provided to Council during initial consultation earlier this year.
“This is an important step as we work further on creating a concept for a recreational space that is suitable for all riders and skill levels,” Cr Eyre said.
“We have a passionate BMX community in Nillumbik and we want to work with them to ensure we can develop the best-possible facility for the long term.”
Council is continuing to investigate a number of potential sites to determine the most suitable location for any potential park for both riders and the community.
The Trail Collective is a rider-owned and operated company with expertise in the planning, designing and building of recreational spaces for BMX enthusiasts including dirt trails, BMX parks and pump tracks.
They have been involved in the development of number of landmark BMX parks in Victoria and South Australia, including for Frankston and Moonee Valley councils.
The Trail Collective will host an online pre-design consultation session on Wednesday 6 April, 6.30pm-7.30pm where local BMX enthusiasts, families and the community can share their ideas for the new facility. Join the meeting here: teams.live.com/meet/9544996930055
