We are currently in an active assessment and development phase to revitalize the mountain bike trail network at Mount Arthur Reserve. While trails are temporarily closed, we are working closely with professional trail consultants and local clubs to conduct comprehensive safety and sustainability audits. This process is essential to ensuring our trails meet modern insurance standards and provide a world-class experience for riders. We look forward to sharing updates as these assessments progress.
