The new review of the Mt Wellington Bike Strategy is open for comment until the 17th October.
See http://www.wellingtonpark.tas.gov.au/3_5.htm

One of the most interesting recommendations is for a new track from the Springs to Junction Cabin and then on to the bike park:

Recommendation 3

Undertake further feasibility investigations and assessments for:

  • the construction of a bike trail from Shoobridge Bend to Junction Cabin below the existing Lenah Valley Track;
  • construction of a track between The Springs and the new track from Shoobridge Bend suitable for shared use;
  • continue the bike link from Junction Cabin to Kangaroo Fire Trail and thus link to the Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park);
  • investigating the option of a new downhill bike riding link from the proposed new track to Middle Island Fire Trail or Main Fire Trail and with a possible connection to the Rivulet Track.

Recommendation 5

Depending on available resources, investigations be undertaken into the need and possible community and Park user support for bike access to:

  • Old Farm Track (south fork);
  • some sections of the fire breaks on the Main Fire Trail;
  • the former 'Drops Track' linking Bracken Lane fire trail to Rivulet Track;
  • Knocklofty Reserve through Noahs Saddle and connecting with the fire trails within Wellington Park (near junction with the Main fire trail);
  • Goat Hills within the City of Glenorchy over land managed by the Council;
  • extension of the Rivulet bike path along the Hobart Rivulet to Strickland Avenue (to connect to the nearby Rivulet Track) by negotiated access agreement with the land owner, Cascade Brewery; and
  • possibly from Waterworks to Ridgeway Park and to Summerleas Road and Fern Tree (this may require negotiated access agreement over private land).
  • No labels
