How has the City catered for differing levels of mountain bike expertise? The parameters of the jump line/s have been designed and built in accordance to the nationally governing standards of the Trail Difficult Rating Systems.
This bike facility will develop, encourage and grow people’s confidence in riding and will be a wonderful nature riding experience in an urban setting.
The advanced level features are a very small portion of the overall facility with the majority of the flow trails, pump track, and jump lines catering for progression; and heavily weighted to the beginner and/or intermediate riders.
The park includes considerable signage to highlight that riders should ride within their ability and progress to more advanced stages only when they are adequately competent at the lower levels, and on bikes that are appropriately built and maintained for those necessary features.
How has the environment and biodiversity of the area been maintained throughout this project? The Dyoondalup Bike Park’s development involved the preservation of a portion of Tuart woodland, which is classified as a Threatened Ecological Community under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) (s266B).
Although not all established trees could be preserved due to the park's layout, the site's original landscape was maintained to the greatest extent possible.
To compensate for the necessary removal of some trees, a substantial replanting initiative was undertaken, with thousands of individual plants including over 200 trees being introduced to the area.
Furthermore, the natural areas team has plans to plant many more native species in the coming years to further enhance the environmental and biodiversity values of this precious woodland site.
Were First Nations people consulted throughout this project? The place where the bike park was built has been recognised as a site of great cultural significance, with a deep connection to the Whadjuk Noongar people’s spiritual dreaming narratives and historical use for hunting and camping.
Throughout the project, the City worked closely with Whadjuk representatives, who supported the construction of the bike park, to understand the cultural significance of the site and ensure all plans respected this.
Can I ride to the bike park? Yes the Dyoondalup Bike Park is situated right near our foreshore shared paths, making it easy and convenient to ride your bike to or from the bike park.
