Murrumbateman Pump Track - Concept Stage

Yass Valley Council has been approached by members of the community for the development of a pump track within Murrumbateman, NSW.

Overview

Council resolved at its meeting on 19 December 2024 to establish the Murrumbateman Pump Track Focus Group. The group will provide advice to Council on the location and development of the track from establishment phase until completion of a concept design. The group will assist in drafting recommendations and actions for the implementation of the project, and act as champions for the project within the broader community.

Concept design

As part of a focus group meeting discussion, a sketched design was presented which outlines the attributes of a proposed pump track. These include:

Beginner level track

Intermediate/expert level track

Proposed sealed track surface

1,500m2 approximate size of track

Recommended locations

The adopted Yass Valley Open Space Strategy 2024-2036 identifies the available open space within Murrumbateman. Council staff identified the only available locations within Murrumbateman that will accommodate the proposed size of the pump track.

The three sites identified for consideration are:

Murrumbateman Common Morrison Place

Murrumbateman Recreation Ground 19 East Street

Hawthorn 3685 Barton Highway

Yass Valley Council will undertake community consultation for a preferred location of a pump track within Murrumbateman.
