Give Hornsby MTB trail an uplift

The issue

Hornsby MTB trail, a once-thriving hub for mountain biking enthusiasts, is unfortunately in a state of neglect. Having spent countless memorable weekends biking through its trails, it's disheartening to see it just sitting there, overgrown and not riding well. This trail holds a special place in the heart of our biking community, yet it now stands as a shadow of its former glory.

The trail's current state not only diminishes our local recreational options but also discourages enthusiasts from visiting this area. A well-maintained MTB trail is crucial, not just for recreational purposes but also for promoting a healthy, active lifestyle among locals and visitors alike.

To address this, we propose a comprehensive uplift project for the Hornsby MTB trail. This will involve clearing overgrown vegetation, addressing erosion issues, and introducing new features that cater to bikers of all skill levels. Furthermore, establishing a regular maintenance schedule will ensure the trail remains in excellent condition year-round, providing a consistently enjoyable experience for all riders.

Investing resources into revitalizing this trail can bring significant benefits to the Hornsby community, including increased tourism, local business support, and a strengthened sense of community pride. The potential economic and social benefits for our community are considerable if we take action now.

We urge the local government, parks authorities, and relevant stakeholders to prioritize this project and allocate the necessary resources to see it through.

Please support this cause by signing this petition. Together, we can restore the Hornsby MTB trail to its former glory and ensure it remains a cherished asset for future generations.
