Mount Keira
Illawarra Escarpment Mountain Bike Strategy
Mountain biking is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and the Illawarra escarpment is currently home to 35km of (unapproved) trails. Mountain bikers are a high-spending demographic, and many from Sydney, often travel past the Illawarra to ride in other locations.
Destination Wollongong's strategy aims to deliver around 85km of sustainable trail networks, which integrate with other existing uses in a safe and strategic manner.
RDA Illawarra supports the Illawarra Escarpment Mountain Bike Strategy and provided a postive submission in the community consultation phase.
