Rebuild the kids bike track at Cape Woolamai!

The issue

Rebuild the kid's bike track at Cape Woolamai!

For over 40 years, young kids have enjoyed pedalling their bikes around the bumps and berms of the well worn track in the Cape Woolamai foreshore at the end of Cronulla Avenue.

In an age when we are trying to get kids off their  screens and out into nature, this resource was the perfect natural play area where kids could connect with the environment, develop new skills and meet other local kids. It served as a meeting place for families, party venue and local community hub.  Given most of Cape Woolamai does not have footpaths, and no other bike riding facilities, it gave kids a safe place to practice their riding skills. 

Recently, the track was bulldozed by Bass Coast Shire Council. 

We are seeking to rebuild the track so that current and future generations can continue to enjoy it. 


We are not seeking that Council spend any money - Many residents of Cape Woolamai are happy to commit their time to rebuild the track. We are only seeking an undertaking that it will not be bulldozed again. 

Please note - no vegetation will be removed in the rebuilding of the track. We will work with the well worn track that is already clear of vegetation.
