The community spoke loud and strong in support for the Warrina Lakes Pump Track design with Council confirming the smaller beginner’s pump track will progress.

Council undertook successful community consultation on the draft design late last year and into early 2023, obtaining valuable feedback, which proved the design hit the nail on the head, said Councillor Nick Pervan.

“The final design includes two pump tracks; a smaller one for beginners and a larger track that includes roller and large berms, rollers, multiple transitions, dragon back and doubles. Pump tracks are not only great fun but also develop key bicycle (or other wheeled recreational device) skills.

Councillor Pervan said it is much welcomed news that the contractor begun site establishment activities from Monday 21 February 2023. Construction is expected to be completed by the start of April, subject to site and weather conditions.

“I look forward to seeing children, both young and old, enjoying the track once complete, plus enjoying the other facilities on offer at Warrina Lakes.”

“Feedback from the community demonstrated widespread support for the pump track design; including the proposed beginner’s pump track.”

Community provided feedback via a Your Say survey and an Information Session held at the Innisfail Markets in December 2022. Council would like to sincerely thank community members for their interest and input into the consultation process

Delivery of the pump track is Stage One of the Warrina Lakes Parklands Master Plan with further stages of the Plan subject to future budget considerations.

The Warrina Lakes Pump Track project was made possible through $400,000 funding from the Australian Government through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program. This program supports local councils to deliver priority local road and community infrastructure projects across Australia.
