The proposed Warburton Mountain Bike Destination trails are not in violation of any Acts. At present the project is being assessed through an Environment Effects Statement (EES) approval process that will ensure the project is designed, constructed and operated to minimise adverse environmental and community impacts. It requires detailed investigation across a wide range of environmental factors including ecological, physical and social elements and will involve community consultation.
I would also like to point out that Yarra
Ranges Council has consulted widely with the community regarding the
development of the Master Plan for the Warburton Mountain Biking Destination.
Feedback has been sought from residents of Warburton and the Yarra Valley, businesses,
community groups, Government Agencies and mountain bike riders alike.
Council is committed to working with partnering agencies to
ensure this exciting project continues to progress, the Environment Effects Statement (EES) will further
strengthen comprehensive work already undertaken in planning the project to
ensure potential environmental impacts would be appropriately managed.
As work continues on the EES process with DELWP, Council
will concurrently finalise the draft Warburton Mountain Bike Destination Master
Plan for community input and determine priorities in delivering associated
infrastructure.
Keep up to date with the Warburton Mountain Biking Destination by visiting Ride Yarra Ranges and signing up for regular update.
