The Warburton Mountain Bike Destination project is currently in the preliminary draft Master Plan stage with consultation currently occurring.

There is still a large body of work, including the planning permit process and detailed design still to be undertaken.
Once the Master Plan has been completed, the project will then move into the permit and approval phase. There will be further opportunity for community input during this phase.
If the project is successful in the planning permit and approval stage, it will then progress to the detailed design/construction phase.
This is when the project gets refined even further to the point of knowing exactly what the trails will look like, what features they will include and what materials they will be made from.
The appointed trail builder or builders will then commence construction of the trail network.
