Activation of Jindabyne Mountain Bike and Adventure Park among projects prioritised

The activation of a Jindabyne Mountain Bike and Adventure Park to attract year-round tourism and enhance recreation amenities in the region is among the priority development projects getting underway in the Snowy Mountains precinct.

Also prioritised is build the capabilities of Aboriginal tourism businesses across the region to attract year-round tourism and enhance the region’s experiences for visitors.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council Mayor Chris Hanna noted “the critical infrastructure will not only improve amenity and services but improve Jindabyne’s standing as a year-round tourist destination.

“The Snowy Mountains are renowned for sports tourism but we’re delighted with the Jindabyne Mountain Bike and Adventure Park investment, which will put Jindabyne on the map as a must visit location for mountain bikers and families seeking excellent downhill trails and modern facilities.”

The NSW Government is investing nearly $200 million set to deliver seven priority projects at the Snowy Mountain and Jindabyne Precinct.

These projects align with both the NSW Government’s and communities priorities to generate job opportunities, enhance infrastructure for housing supply, essential services and sustainable tourism.

Special Activation Precincts are strategic and sustainable business hubs designed to create jobs and fuel economic development across regional NSW. The Government’s investment of $196.3 million has been allocated in consultation with the community and will boost future opportunities in the area while also improving services for current residents.

Other projects set to commence within the next year include:

• Plan and design enhancements for the Lake Jindabyne Foreshore to improve amenity, community facilities and access for visitors.

• A new water treatment plant to ensure the current and future Jindabyne community and visitors enjoy safe drinking water.

• Upgrade to the Jindabyne sewage treatment plant to protect public health and the environment for future generations.

• Enhance the electrical, water and sewer networks to future-proof services to foster a growing Jindabyne community and support environmental sustainability.

• Enable land acquisition for future housing development, including affordable housing projects, and to preserve the corridor for the Southern Connector Road.
