Hornsby Unstructured Recreation Plan Passed
Very good news in from HSMBA today, regarding a council meeting last night:
For those who could not attend, the Unstructured Recreation Plan was PASSED but more specifically the NEED for a Mountain Bike track will be addressed as it was the only activity which received public comment (thanks to you guys!)
We are not sure where it goes from here, however we will get in touch with council to see what needs to be done. It's still very early days and we have a long road ahead of us before we put shovel to dirt.
Remember to check the website www.hsmba.info for news and updates!
What this means is that the council voted to accept the recommendations made in the following document:

Page 56 on paper which is actually 67 in the PDF.
Looks very promising to me - many thanks to all involved in the HSMBA initiative (and I urge you all to visit their site and register your interest)! 
Hornsby XC track update
Email just received from Hornsby Council:
Thank you for your submission regarding mountain bike trails in the Draft Unstructured Recreation Strategy. Based on the level of support that has been shown by the community there is a strong demand for off road mountain bike trails. A report regarding the submissions received during the public exhibition period will be considered by Council at the December Ordinary Meeting on the 10th December 2008.
Public Exhibition of the Hornsby Unstructured Recreation Strategy
Time to write in and give your support for focus on MTB.
Hornsby Council Draft Park Management Plan
I heard from Hornsby Shire Council that in the next few months they will put a news item (or something) on their website that will invite the review of parks management plans in the area. This will have specific things in it about MTB and BMX apparently.
I guess it will be here somewhere: http://www.hornsby.nsw.gov.au/news/index.cfm
