The Warburton Mountain Bike Destination project would be a world-class mountain biking destination centred around Warburton, about 70km north of Melbourne.
When complete, the Destination would feature 66 trails spanning across three zones on Mt Donna Buang, Mt Little Joe and Mt Tugwell.
Trails would connect with the popular Lilydale- Warburton Rail Trail and O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail.
Three “trail heads” would provide facilities for riders, including car parking, picnic areas, toilets and wash stations.
The main trail head would be located at Warburton Golf Course, at the base of Mt Donna Buang.
Shuttle buses would deliver riders to the trails on Mount Donna Buang and Mt Tugwell.
$11.3m in funding has been provided for Stage One of the project, which includes approximately 110km of trails and two head facilities.
Once complete, we will seek International Mountain Bike Association designation as a Gold-Level Ride Centre – which would make Warburton the only Gold-Level centre in Australia and one of only three outside the USA.
