New $3.7 million BMX track to be open north of Brisbane by 2021

A $3.7 million BMX track, built to host national competitions, could be up and running at a site just north of Brisbane by the end of 2021.

Moreton Bay Regional Council will decide on Wednesday which contractor will build a new $3.7 million BMX track at Brendale.

The project, first announced by council in 2018, is proposed to include a national grade competition track, lighting, a clubhouse, spectator seating and parking.

It will be built at Nolan Park, Brendale, and be the new home base for the Pine Rivers BMX Club, currently based at England Park.

SEVEN DEVELOPMENTS CHANGING THE FACE OF REDCLIFFE

The new facility has been designed to meet the long term needs of the growing club as well as cater for regional, state and national competitions.

Council’s report states the facility will attract competitions providing a boost to the local economy, especially to hotels and the hospitality industry.

On Wednesday’s councillors will decide on who to award the construction contract too.

Council officers have recommended the $3.713,502 tender be awarded to J.Mac Constructions PTY LTD.

Work is scheduled to start in January and be finished by December 2021.

This is just one of several major sporting infrastructure projects council has in the works.

An $18 million football facility is expected to be built at South Pine Sports Complex in time for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023.

Work has also started on the new $10 million Griffin Sports Complex, due to open in 2022.

The project received a $1.5 million grant for the project through the state government’s COVID-19 fund.
