Melaleuca Reserve Pump Track

For many years, Melelauca Reserve (located on the corner of Douglas Street and Pressey Street), has hosted a basic dirt BMX track facility. The track has been informally maintained by park users and is constructed in a temporary manner from dirt/ground sourced within the reserve area.

Ongoing consultation with park users and the surrounding neighbourhood has highlighted strong aspirations for the track to be enhanced, with a particular interest in improving safety, usability and the visual appeal of the current facility.

Council has allocated budget for improvements to the reserve and, in line with community feedback, has since sought quotations attached to the redevelopment of the existing track.

The design incorporates a 91 metre looped track which covers much of the footprint of the existing facility. The construction will include an asphalt seal to improve the year-round use of the facility and a raised starting platform.

The design provides for an entry level pump track which is designed as a smaller, entry level track wich will complement the larger Mount Gambier Pump Track. It will feature a range of jumps and berms and create an exciting new family-friendly facility for the Melaleuca neighbourhood.
