​Exciting news for the Buninyong Community!

We have locked in our highly experienced pump track contractors to begin the upgrade works around the 28th November 2024. Here’s what you can look forward to:

• The track will be constructed with asphalt.

• The track has been positioned closer to the skatepark, creating room for potential future expansions through community grants/funding.
• New jumps have been added along the straight side for even more thrills.
• A central jump complex offers advanced riders fun transfer options.
• A spoon drain between the pump track and skatepark will manage water flow, keeping the track in top condition.

Thank you for being part of the consultation journey, sharing your ideas; we can’t wait to see you out there enjoying the improvements!

Pump Track Design Intent

Site Design

The pump track footprint has largely been influenced by the site and existing conditions. Best effort has been taken to provide a solution to fit the topography and drainage considerations.

The track has been positioned to allow for the existing overland flow path and to ensure that the pump track structure isn't impacted in a peak rain event.


Pump Track Design

The pump track is a single loop with a central complex that offers interesting shapes and transfer opportunities. There is a primary platform at the south end to allow for resting between laps.

The tracks features are 0.4-0.8m in height and the berms are 1.0m in height.

The track features are designed so beginners can roll safely over, intermediate users can gain confidence & experience, and advanced users can showcase and continue to develop their skills.

An all-abilities track was highly requested in the feedback.

The track design is currently within budget.
