Redlands shire to get new motocross track

The newly formed Redlands Motorcycle Club backed by an official of Motorcycling Australia is negotiating with the Redland City council to allow the development of a motocross track in the area. The club is in need of support by asking dirt bike riders to voice their opinion to various council members.
Redland City Council is investigating the possibility of providing a site for the development of a new motorcycle facility. Initially catering for Motocross riding. A lot of tracks and venues have been closed or are threatened with closure. Regardless of your own location, a motocross facility in Redlands will enhance the sport and provide a safe alternative for riders of all ages.
If you support the facility forward an email or fax a message to the Redland City Council on the details listed below expressing your own views on the need for a motorcycle facility in Redlands. The council needs to know how many people would support such a facility.
Negotiations to date have been positive and would be greatly enhanced by positive feedback to the Redland City Council. We want to project a responsible community that will use such a facility to provide a safe environment for dirt bike enthusiasts.
Some time ago, laws came into place which allow police officers to confiscate noisy trail bikes. Just what constitutes a noisy trail bike is at the discretion of the officer involved. The laws apply to people riding on both public and private land. With the boom in dirt bike sales in Australia and according to Motorcycling Australia, over 200 trail bike riders registered in the southern end of the shire alone, problems will only get worse if adequate facilities are not created.

make a motocross track in redland bay right away.
4 members of our family rides dirt bikes and need a close by track to ride. as we need to travel 2 hours to go for a ride.
I’m 17, live in the redlands and have just saved up $6,000 and brought myself a dirtbike and like many people i know, be it friends or just others who own a motocross bike, have no where local to ride. The closest is maybe fort lytton or black duck vally and i think its about time the councils were proactive and provided some land (redlands) to ride. I’ll help out as much as i can to push for this!
