I have learnt this week the site I had in mind for the off road park has hit a major hurdle
There was a consortium that were going to remediate the site with 5000 houses, 14,000 people, a marina, parklands and three beaches, with one of them ( claimed ) bigger than Bondi Beach. This supposed consortium have got cold feet and FUKD off. Can't blame them. It's a fukn quarry in Penrith FFS. How the dumbass council would even entertain and green light such a proposal is beyond me.
Anyway that can only help our proposal.
While the Penrith area does have some extremely wealthy residents ( highest single house / land sale ever : ( read 50 million)in Australia in 2012 ) it is basically a workers town. I am doing the rounds of the local bike shops ( every offroad brand is sold new in Penrith ) to ascertain volume of sales.
Nathan, I don't know how to set up a poll on here to garner interest. It would need to be only for Sydney environs people to register their interest. It would be of no use for a Vic, WA etc to register interest because they will not use it, no offence intended. I have to get fairly accurate numbers together to work out the viability of it all.
Even if they can the pseudo second Bondi Beach site ...haha, they may alot another.
If you or anyone else can set this poll up:
Topic : Offroad Park Penrith NSW.... Interested?
Text: I am trying to establish if there is enough interest from the dirt bike community to approach Penrith council/ NSW Government to build a Offroad park along the lines of Louee or Queensland Moto park. It will be the only riding park in the Sydney Metropolitan Area ( sans Pacific Park......litigation prevents me forming an opinion on that place )
