The Ballina Pump Track at Kingsford Smith Reserve is a capital works project identified in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan for the 2024/25 financial year. The project supports the objective: “Provide young people with a range of leisure activities”.
The Kingsford Smith Reserve Master Plan was adopted in 2021 following extensive community consultation and identifies activation of the southern area of the reserve and concept images of a pump track.
In December 2024, Council resolved to award a contract for the design and construction of the new pump track. Construction works are scheduled to commence onsite in April 2025.
Council has included key local user group representatives in design development and will continue to seek their feedback on the project. Completion of the project is anticipated for October 2025.
The project includes:
Site preparation works have commenced at the southern area of Kingsford Smith Reserve. Vegetation management is underway and may continue into early May 2025, weather permitting. This includes the removal of trees within the track footprint and the removal of weeds and exotic species around the site and along Kingsford Smith Drive. These early works focus on hazard reduction, improving vegetation health, enhancing site access, and increasing visibility for public safety.
Construction of the pump track is expected to start in mid-May.
This project is funded by Ballina Shire Council's capital works program and NSW Government Stronger Country Communities Fund.
