Project Validation Report is underway
This venue was included in the Sport Venue Review and, based on the recommendations, is proceeding as planned.
The Sunshine Coast’s mountain bike trails at Parklands are a destination for locals and travellers alike, offering challenging tracks in natural rainforest.
Demand for mountain biking facilities has increased rapidly in South East Queensland and is forecast to continue to grow significantly. The new facility will help meet that demand – both before and after Brisbane 2032 - as well as support the growing demand for nature trails and nature-based recreational activities.
This upgrade will give it the boost needed to be an international mountain bike facility. The new mountain bike cycling hub will offer circuit, beginner level trails and a skills park suitable for multisport events, as well as bike hire facilities and space for a café.
Brisbane 2032 use:
The Sunshine Coast Mountain Bike Centre is earmarked to host Olympic mountain bike events, with 8,000 standing spectators and temporary seating for 2,000 spectators.
