moto track in dandenong

[coolmodee01]

before i start dont get your hopes up
me being a smart ass i decided to write up an email and send it to the council
just to see what the response would be
my email went as follows

Hello

My name is joel

I'm a local minibike rider and i am interested in helping you eliminate an issue your having or that you will have in the near future.

I'm a rider myself and i am a active part of the fast growing minibike scene.

Because the frankston motorcross track does not cator to our needs

I have to drive to broadmedows just to ride a decent track legally.

So like many other people in the area i tend to look for other options i.e industrial estate's and other illegal areas, where we can find and build a decent jump and a bit of an open track.

I find places like these bring both the good and the bad people to the riding spot, but they are uncontroled and dangerous.

I'd like to look at us together supplying a safe place for the good people on the minibike scene to ride and not be branded as hoon's or a menace to the streets.



so i am chasing some infomation on producing a council supported motorcycle riding complex.



If the apropriate person could forward me the relavent information it would be much apreciated



kind rgds........joel



after about 2 weeks in true council form it just got this reply



Dear Joel,

Thank you for your email.

As you are aware, the City of Greater Dandenong does not currently have a designated facility for off road motorcycle riding.
The availability of suitable open space areas within Greater Dandenong to develop a specific facility to cater for motorcycles is limited. This is mainly due to the unsuitability of such a facility in built up residential areas. There are also limited resources and competing demands for sporting and leisure facilities. Consequently, there are no current plans for the development of a motorcycle facility in Greater Dandenong.

Council is currently conducting a review of the Open Space Strategy (2000). As part of this process there will be community consultation to determine and assess community needs for open space, taking into consideration a mix of active (organised sport) and passive (informal) activities. Your request will be duly considered as part of the process.

Should you have any further queries, please give me a call.

Kind regards
Tatiana

so i reckon we should get as many people to send in emails of this sort just so they know we are serios about having a track nearer by

man you guys are lucky.

In adelaide we don't even have a track, we only have them for big bikes and there is a club which is like $350 a year or something.

I wrote a letter and they told me to join the club.

I'm going riding Sunday. I heard Oakleigh got smaller..:'(
It's already small with no jumps, but i bought a yearly membership for 100 bux, and its 10 bux a ride and i've only been there 3 times, so if i don't go I'll lose money..lol.
