Oct 14, 2024, 09:33 AM by User Not Found
The WA Government has provided $57,000 in funding to the Shire of Manjimup to help establish an off-road vehicle (ORV) hub that will cater for the growing popularity of this recreational activity.

The planned Manjimup Trail Bike Hub aims to establish the regional town and it’s surrounds as a premier adventure tourism destination and to attract both locals and visitors looking for a trail bike riding and ORV experience.

This project, developed in partnership with the Manjimup Trail Bike Hub Association, plans to create a comprehensive hub for enthusiasts that will extend beyond just trails to include accommodation, dining options, and specialised shops for bike sales, repair and maintenance.

The Hub development has secured other financial support, including $980,000 of federal funding and a contribution of $576,500 by the Shire of Manjimup.

This grant is additional to the recently announced $4.8 million that the State Government is allocating to a grant program for local governments in WA to develop and improve ORV sites throughout the State.

Local governments will be able to apply for grants of up to $1 million for the creation of new sites and up to $200,000 for maintaining, expanding, and upgrading existing areas.
