Here at Council, creating vibrant and healthy communities is a priority.

We know the existing dirt jumps are well-loved, and keen users are often changing and manipulating jumps to better suit their needs. Unfortunately, some of the changes made by users mean the jumps do not meet safety requirements and Council regularly has to make adjustments.

Between 15 November and 14 December 2023, we invited community feedback to help us understand what dirt jump users would like to see at this location. Consultation has now closed.

Thank you for completing the survey and sharing your views with us.

What we heard from the community

Four key themes emerged throughout the engagement, including:

jumps need to cater for beginners

amenities within the park need improvement

larger jumps needed for skill progression

focus on a community space (currently the users dig and create the jumps as a hobby)

You can read about what the community told us in the Community Engagement Summary

report.

Next steps

Your feedback has informed an interim solution for H.T Ireland Reserve. The interim solution installed in early May included a beginner’s jump line and an intermediate jump line.

A longer-term solution including provision of advanced level features may be investigated at this site subject to budget and site constraints in the future. The feedback received during this consultation will also be considered by Council when planning for other off-road cycling projects such as mountain bike tracks across Moreton Bay.
