In January 2025, we invited community members to provide feedback on the concept design for the pump track by completing a short online survey.

After reviewing the feedback provided by our community, we have made the following amendments to the concept plan:

• Improved buffer planting and barriers. To prevent riders from directly riding into other active areas such as the adjacent footpath and kick about area, post and rail fences, planting and sandstone blocks will be included in the design. In addition, a barrier set back from the entry point will be installed to slow down people entering and exiting the pump track zone.

• Additional seating. A seat will be installed across from the pump track for park users to sit and watch. Sandstone blocks will also provide informal seating in the pump track zone.

• More shade. An additional nine trees will be planted around the pump track.

• Screen planting. Additional planting will be added along the fence lines of adjacent properties.

In addition, we will investigate providing a shade sail over the pump track and a drink fountain in the park, for possible implementation in future years.

The design team would like to thank everyone who provided feedback on the proposal, and we look forward to seeing the track in action once complete.

In January 2025, community members were invited to review the initial pump track concept design and provide feedback by completing a short online survey.

Consultation closed on Monday, 20 January 2025.

In developing Council's Recreation Parks Plan 2021, the Buderim community indicated that they would like to see more informal sport opportunities for teenagers and young adults in the area.

After reviewing the feedback and assessing the existing informal sport opportunities in the area, Council identified Buderim as an ideal location for a pump track.

In September 2023, council invited residents to share their thoughts on the best location for a pump track in Buderim.

A pump track in Buderim was strongly supported by our community who are seeking different recreation opportunities close by. Based on community feedback, we determined Forestwood Drive Park is the best location for the track.

The community engagement findings can be viewed here.

It is a track where you generate momentum on your bike by up and down body movements, instead of pedalling or pushing.

Pump tracks cater to all members of the community, creating a space that unites people from diverse backgrounds.

You can road test Council’s popular Sugar Bag Road Pump Track in Caloundra West to see what makes a great pump track. It’s a track for all skill levels and will get your heart pumping!

Construction will start in February 2025 and is scheduled for completion in early April 2025, weather and site conditions permitting.

Thank you for your patience while we deliver this community facility. We look forward to seeing the track in action once complete.
