EXISTING PROBLEMS

The existing track did not meet guidelines to host big events. The simplicity and outdated style of the track also limited development of local riders and the appeal of the sport was fading for long time members as there was no room for progression.

 

PROJECT GOAL

Before starting the project the BMX club had the goal of securing the BMX Queensland state championships, they also wanted to increase member numbers within the club and have more attendance at all events/ training throughout the year.

​

OUTCOME

After completion of the upgrade, the club seen an influx of riders including old members who had left the sport. The club has held multiple events since, including some in the rain, and is often used for training camps by other clubs and regional bodies.
