Influence Kingborough’s bike decisions
If you ride in the Kingborough Council area and can attend a Friday morning meeting once every two months, then please consider nominating for the bicycle advisory committee.
The current committee has been working on a new bike plan so there will be plenty to do in the coming year to get it approved and put into action.
Nominate here before 31 January : https://www.kingborough.tas.gov.au/.../kingborough.../
Clarence MTB Park changes get underway
Clarence City Council is set to start work on a new access road and car park at the Mountain Bike Park in the Meehan Range at the end of this month.
While the 8-week project is underway the current gravel car park will be open and there will be detours around the work to get you on to the tracks safely.

Tasman Highway works affect path access
A heads-up for anyone who rides along Fenton Street between the two Tasman Highway causeways that the path will be closed from 22 January 2021 at Midway Point.
A short detour will be put in place but you'll need to dismount and walk the route around the intersection before getting back onto the footpath and over the next causeway.
The work is part of the government's road improvements between Hobart and Sorell so the detour will be in place for at least 9 months. You can check out all the details on the Department of State Growth website.
