This is great stuff for the Yarra Valley with plenty of coin set to be spent on the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination Project.$6 million secured for Stage 1 of the Warburton Mountain Mountain Bike Destination Project.
The Warburton Mountain Bike Destination project is one step closer to becoming a reality after a $3 million funding announcement from the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund.
Yarra Ranges Council applied for the funding in response to demand for recreation activities, to stimulate tourism and deliver environmental, economic and social benefits to the community by creating job security.
More than 100km of mountain bike trails in the hills surrounding Warburton will be developed as part of the project, injecting $20.4 million annually into the local economy.
The Upper Yarra Community Enterprise Ltd (Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank® Branches) has committed $300,000 to the project and Council has committed an additional $2.7 million to match the $3 million in Federal Government funding.
Thank you to the Federal Government, Minister John McVeigh MP & Tony Smith MP - Federal Member for Casey.
