In mid-2023, Wollongong City Council closed Helensburgh Mountain Bike Park following reports that fragments of asbestos had been found on the site’s tracks.
Work was done to remediate the site, with the support of the NSW EPA and in conversation with the licensee, Helensburgh Off Road Cycle Club (HORCC).
The park has now reopened, and we will continue to work with the Helensburgh Off Road Cycle Club on their plans for the reinstatement of safe tracks.
