Mountain Bike Trail Project

The Williams Reserve in Boddington is poised to become a premier destination for mountain biking enthusiasts, thanks to a substantial grant of $959,947 under the Australian Government’s Priority Community Infrastructure Program.

This significant funding will be used to design and construct a series of mountain bike trails of varying lengths, styles, and classifications within Williams Reserve. The project aims to cater to riders of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, offering a much-needed recreational facility in the region.

The initiative is driven by recommendations from the Peel Trails Strategy, which highlights the need for improved and additional trail facilities to enhance recreational opportunities and attract visitors to the area. The 2022-2032 Council Plan also reflects growing community interest in trails, indicating a rising demand for outdoor recreational activities within Boddington. Currently, there is an undersupply of mountain bike trails in the area, and this project seeks to address that gap, providing residents and visitors with more options for outdoor activities and promoting a healthier lifestyle.


Why is this project taking place?

The need to undertake this project is driven by:

  • recommendations made in Peel Trails Strategy
  • community interest in trails as identified in the 2023-2033 Council Plan
  • an undersupply of mountain bike trails in Boddington 


What’s next?

Common Ground has been appointed to undertake the detailed design and construction of Boddington Mountain Bike Trails. Common Ground have significant experience with this project as they also developed the original concept plan.

The Shire is progressing the necessary cultural and environmental approvals required to undertake the construction of the trails with works anticipated to commence early 2025.
