Redland City Council has started maintenance works on the mountain bike trail network at Bayview Conservation Area in Redland Bay.
There will be excavation to rectify erosion points, the addition of berms (banked turns), and realignment of sections and tracks and water management along about 10.6km of trails.
Work has already been completed on the intermediate trails, Vegie-mite and Bayview Blow.
Maintenance on the four beginner trails starts on 27 February and is expected to be completed by late May, subject to weather and other factors.
The works will involve staggered closures, with each of the trails reopening progressively as works are completed.
Expected trail closure dates, weather permitting, are:
- Sock-Puppet East – 27 February to 5 March
- Sock-Puppet West – 6 March to 2 April
- You’re Kidding – 3 to 23 April
- The Maze – 24 April to 21 May.
Trail users are urged to follow signage instructions on the staggered closures at the entrances to the bike trail network at Bayview Conservation Area and stay off trails while they are closed for maintenance.
