November 1st, 2022Commonwealth Games coup for Creswick

In a coup for the region, Creswick Trails will host mountain biking competition in the 2026
Commonwealth Games.
Tenders for the construction of the trails have closed and Hepburn Shire Council
is working through the formal tender evaluation process.

A report regarding the appointment of a successful tenderer will go to the November 15 council meeting and it is believed construction on the Creswick Trails will end in mid-2024.

The Victorian government in recent days announced that the Creswick Trails will host mountain biking competition in the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Hepburn mayor, Cr Tim Drylie, said that the Creswick Trails network will be one of Australia’s leading mountain biking destinations. 

“The Creswick Trails project will deliver 60 kilometres of world-class mountain bike trails built in and around the Regional Park, State Forest and plantation lands of Creswick,” Cr Drylie said.
