Special Christmas message from Parks Victoria to LDTR
To all at LDTR
A thank you for all of your patience throughout this year whilst the park recovered from the February storms and associated damage and the tremendous contribution you have all made not only to the trails at Lysterfield but to the broader Mountain Bike Community.
Without the compassion and commitment shown from LDTR the trails would not be in the condition of what they are, your efforts are greatly appreciated.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Safe New Year
Regards & Thanks
John Goodman

It seems a long time since the storm event in February that dumped 170 mm of rain in Lysterfield over a twelve hour period causing extensive damage to a number of tracks and trails. Next Monday repair works are scheduled to begin on the Lysterfield Mountain Bike Trail network.
Contractors, World Trail have been engaged to begin the first stage works that will focus on the restoration of the Commonwealth Games Track. These works include re surfacing and drainage works as well as a number of recommendations made by the IMBA report completed earlier this year.
I will provide updates on the progress of works once they begin until completion and hopefully within the next month the first stage works are completed then the recreation trails can be addressed.
I would like to thank everyone for their patience over the past six months and look forward to the repair works being completed to make the trails a more pleasurable experience for you all.
Yours sincerely
John Goodman
