Pump track - update August 2024 - final concept design

Thanks again to those who took part in the consultation for this project. All comments from the May 2024 community consultation were provided to the pump track designers (Three Chillies Design) for consideration in the final concept.

The main comment and concerns raised during the consultation periods were in relation to safety management of a dual direction track and the request for more advanced tracks and jumps to also to be included/considered for Rosalie Park in the future.

Dual direction safety management

• Three Chillies Design have taken the communities comments on board and the final design of Trail 1 has been constructed with 'traffic management' in mind for rider safety in terms of design elements for a beginner-suitable pump track. Trail 1 has been created with alignments that do not have quick, numerous or unexpected directional changes, which minimises the risk of collisions.
• Trail 1 is planned with a simple layout that will not cause confusion and will be suitable for beginners (but also an enjoyable ride for all skill sets).
• The track is designed to have clear sightlines along all sections to maintain rider awareness, and will incorporate a track that its designed and constructed to be wide enough for two riders to pass each other if need be (usually 1.5m minimum).

Advanced tracks and jumps to also to be included/considered - currently unfunded/not budgeted for

• Three Chillies Design have also developed a Master Plan (in project document library) following the communities comments received back during the stage 1 and 2 of the community consultations. The Master Plan includes additional Trails with varying jumps and tracks that cater for more advanced skill levels, within the same site location. These additional Trails are currently unfunded and have not been budgeted for in City’s capital works program. The City will revisit the additional Trails following the completion of this Trail 1 pump track, and how well it is received and utilised by the community.

Additional info and timeframe

• The design will include an accessible path into the pump track off the existing Onslow Road footpath.
• The course will be designed to blend into the natural environment utilising the natural typography and being constructed from mostly organic material.
• Pump track construction (Trial 1) is planned to be completed by the end of 2024.
