Ballarat-Sebastopol BMX Track Surfacing Upgrade

The Ballarat-Sebastopol BMX Club are proposing that the community BMX track, located at the Marty Bush Reserve, be fully sealed. This would be done by using a weatherproof and hard-wearing surface along the straights in conjunction with bitumen corners and improved drainage. In its current state the track is frequently unsafe and unusable, meaning that this amazing local asset is going to waste. The track is permanently open to the general public and with an all-weather surface it will be available for the whole community to enjoy all year round.

Currently the unsealed track is greatly affected by rain damage, which requires ongoing maintenance and regularly contributes to the cancelation of events and minimises the track’s availability.

Having a sealed all-weather BMX track will improve safety for riders and increase participation for the riding community of Sebastopol and the entire Central Highlands region.

BMX is an Olympic sport with membership across Australia on the rise. This would be the first fully surfaced track in Victoria, drawing professional riders to Ballarat from around Australia.

Please support our community by bringing a state of the art BMX track to Ballarat!
