The Shire of Nannup has recently commenced construction of the Mountain Bike Freestyle Jump Park within the reserve bound by Mowen Road, Vasse Highway and Miller Road. The project consists of two downhill mountain bike jump lines and one return line and is part of the Nannup Trail Town Project.
The Jump lines include one intermediate (Blue) Jump Trail of 160m in length and an advanced (Black) Jump Trail of 160m in length, with a return trail that will see upgrades to existing tracks and roads along Miller Road including the Old Timberline Trail alignment.
In October 2022 the Shire of Nannup undertook ecological and Aboriginal and Cultural Heritage surveys. This informed the area for construction, limiting the construction footprint to within the highly degraded existing track alignments with minimal additional disturbance to the native bush. This project has been approved by the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) who are project partners.
The Trail Town project is federally funded through the Regional Recovery Partnership Program. It aims to support the tourism offering within the Shire, while offering a healthy recreational pursuit with an intent to connect the community with nature.
