Notification of scheduled works Wylde MTB

Construction works – Western Sydney Parklands – Cecil Park Precinct (Range Road, Cecil Hills, NSW)

We wish to inform you of ongoing staged construction activity in the Cecil Park Precinct within Western Sydney Parklands. Over the next twelve months, there will be changed conditions when visiting the Wylde Mountain Bike Trail (MTB) and accessing our tracks and trails from Cecil Hills, via the footbridges over the M7 Motorway.

Construction activity has commenced in the Cecil Park Precinct with Sydney Water installing pipelines; and the M12 Motorway team continuing their ground investigations works to inform the environmental approval process for the project.

The Wylde Mountain Bike Trail (MTB) construction works have commenced to partially relocate the trail to an area immediately adjacent to the existing Wylde MTB within the Parklands. The contract to deliver the civil, landscaping and infrastructure works has been awarded to construction company Ward Civil. Relocation works will include a new access road constructed off Range Road which will provide entry to both Sydney International Shooting Centre and the new Wylde MTB.

Please see the map with construction work details and scheduled dates.

Thank you for your patience as we build this new infrastructure and recreation facility for the community.

Western Sydney Parklands temporary pathway diversions

A section of new pipeline is also being built in Western Sydney Parklands. This means the footbridge crossing the M7 and some walking tracks will be temporarily closed, and diversions will be put in place from February until November 2021 (refer to map here).

Public notification: Track Diversions effective from 11 - 22 January 2021

There will be temporary track diversions in place from Monday 11 to Friday 22 January 2021, due to surveying works by Transport for NSW for the M12 Motorway.

Please follow the signage at the trail heads and trail sections of the affected tracks; as well as in the carpark.

Thank you for your patience during this time.

Changed conditions at the entry to Wylde MTB

We like to advise that Sydney Water major pipeline works are being conducted on the Gunbarrel Highway section of Wylde MTB from 23 September 2020 until further notice.

To avoid these works, changed conditions at the entry to the Wylde MTB trail are in effect, with a left-hand diversion in place shortly after the trail head.

The Kids Loop is open, but the loop has been shortened to avoid the works. Please follow the trail signs for directions.

Vehicle access to the Wylde MTB’s car park remains as normal.

The Trust is committed to minimising disruptions to our visitors. Thank you for your patience during this time.
