Construction of the track was completed in July 2024 and young people from across the City are already enjoying this neighbourhood-level facility.
The designs for the Safety Bay Pump Track are in!
See the images below to see what it’s going to look like, including a drawing for the more technically minded.
There are two lines on the track – a “lower” line that works as a pump track, and the jumps line that includes four jumps. The jumps are up to 1.4 m high.
At its ordinary meeting on Tuesday 28 November 2023, the City of Rockingham Council approved June Road Reserve as the location for the new Safety Bay Pump and Jump Track.
Council’s decision relied on extensive consultation conducted by the City. The consultation identified strengths and weaknesses for the two proposed locations: June Road Reserve in Safety Bay and Apex Reserve in Shoalwater. Council preferred June Road Reserve for several reasons. These included the majority of children engaged during consultation wanting the track at this location, better outcomes for wildlife in the area, and less impact on other park users in comparison to Apex Reserve.
