Draft Hassans Walls Mountain Bike Trails Strategy

25 March, 2021

Lithgow City Council is inviting members of the community to have their say on the Draft Hassans Walls Mountain Bike Trails Strategy.

One of Lithgow’s key endowments is an abundance of natural and open spaces, which offer fantastic recreation opportunities. Lithgow Council is committed to the development of recreation infrastructure such as mountain bike trails in these locations.

A Mountain Bike Trails Strategy for Hassans Wall Reserve has been developed with the assistance of recognised experts in the field. The strategy details the infrastructure trails’ requirements, and cost to develop three purpose-built mountain biking trails at Hassans Walls Reserve. These would be suitable for broader scale mountain biking super flow type events. The trails are geared to a wide range of riders – from elite to amateur racers as well as families, couples and groups of friends riding together.

The draft strategy is on public exhibition from Friday 26 March for 28 days and is available for viewing at:
