Warringah Council Update - what's going on and volunteer days

Hi all

TrailCare has been meeting and liaising with Council staff (Damian and Christina) and also the mayor, Michael Regan and Councillors Christina Kirsch and Virginia Laugesen.

We have also attended a few Council meetings where there was unanimous support from all Councillors for dirt jumps.

Two of their staff including the head MD ranger just attended the 4 day IMBA Masterclass in Hornsby where the got hands on experience on the new track under construction.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes by Council that is not common knowledge. They are currently working on the following:

4. Warringah Council mountain biking activities in 12/13 include

a) Manly Dam Mountain Bike Track upgrade - Warringah Council will be
upgrading the Manly Dam mountain bike track in the 12/13 and 13/14
financial years. Stakeholders including Trail Care will be consulted
when the planning gets underway in late 2012.

This also includes the reinstatement of volunteer days!!!!! We will keep you posted on dates.

b) Mountain bike hub - this idea is being considered for the outdoor
area adjacent to the Warringah Aquatic Centre (WAC) & research is being
undertaken by Warringah Council as part of the WAC Site Development
Strategy.

track proposal for Warringah. Stakeholders including Trail Care will be
consulted.
