Project update - 29 January 2024

The City received 573 responses with a broad range of feedback from the community, including local residents, park users, and cyclists from areas within and outside the City. The consultant developed recommendations based on survey feedback; relevant cycling strategic planning documents; an audit of cycling facilities and infrastructure in South Perth and adjoining local governments; demographic information; and consultation with stakeholders.

Recommendations in priority order

Pump Track
Additional shared and separated paths
BMX dirt track
End of trip facilities and cycling parking facilities
Learn to ride facility
Event infrastructure.

We’re pleased to report that the first two priorities, the Pump Track project and additional shared and separated paths, have budgets allocated to them and are progressing.

Delivery of the other report recommendations will be subject to further investigations by the City. These projects will be considered in future annual budget development processes to determine the ability to source the required project funding (including through external funding sources); and will be assessed against other priority projects within the City’s capital works program.

The report also concluded that a criterium circuit and mountain bike circuit were not appropriate at George Burnett Park given the potential conflicts with other park users. Also e-bike charging stations were not supported.
