Greenvalleys Freeride Park

By greenvalleys fr... - Posted on 13 April 2009

Press Release - Tuesday 14th, April 2009
Greenvalleys Freeride Park

Greenvalleys Freeride Park is a planned MTB facility in Tongarra, NSW. It is located in the foothills of the Macquarie Pass National Park just over an hour south of Sydney and approx 20 minutes from Wollongong.

The park will host a Downhill (DH) competition track for school, local, state and national competitions. A slopestyle competition course, and freeride tracks for all levels of ability.

The site has some zoning issues before approval, and operations manager Nick Haertsch has a meeting with Shellharbour strategic planners to include the site in the Local Environment Plan (LEP) wrap up for 2010. This will allow for a recreational MTB facility in the Shellharbour region.

- the site has already undergone extensive assessment which includes a Flora and Fauna study by Bushfire Environmental Services, specifc GPS waypoints of proposed tracks courtesy of Peter Sanderson (Wollongng MTB Club), and preperation of a detailed report on the site by environmental planners Eco Logical Australia Pty Ltd.
- the site has the potential to become the Premier Freeride Park in Australia.

Greenvalleys Freeride Park is seeking your support by logging onto the website www.greenvalleysfreeridepark.com.au and filling in the petition details, to show why a legal MTB facility is needed not only in Shellharbour but for the greater Illawarra region.

Thanks for your support...
