It's on the Castlereagh Rd, not too far from the Olympic Rowing Centre.

There was a doco on Off road motorcycle parks in WA, trying to find it as it pointed out a lot of benefits. Here is a link to WA Govt statement about it

Do any of the WAer's know of the doco ?

Thanks Stewy. This is exactly how I will present it to council.

Sutto sells 600+ Offroad machines a year. He says the vast majority of them head west, two to three hours to Louee, Lithgow and Clarence on most weekends.He reckons there would be no problem getting around 300 riders to use a Moto park each day in Penrith on Saturdays and Sundays. He says pursue it, they will come by the truck load

YES Ted, as a matter of fact i have, several times over the years, both officially and over a beer, worth a try i know, might wear the bastards down.....

So how far did it get? Who were you talking to? Who is to be avoided? What information did you present to them? Could you pass on any information you may have? I am also in Penrith. I will give it a crack.

As much as I love to be wrong I dont think a Council would go for this with current OHS BS. Now if you get MCNSW to be involved there could be the slightest chance.

[Ted]

MCNSW don't own the land.  Us rate payers do, administered by council.

It is my understanding QMP is run by four councils and the Qld government. Look at the video on here, WA park is run by National Parks and councils. There is absolutely no need to get MCNSW involved.

Like I said before Mick, this may be a pipe dream but let me at least ask before the doubting Thomas's have their way.

Cheers Bud
