    MOUNTAIN BIKING The Benefits of Mountain Biking to the Atherton Tablelands Great mountain bike trails don’t just satisfy local riders. They can also attract tourists from all over, revitalize local economies and put a destination on the map. International Mountain Bicycling Association April 2015 Tablelands Futures Corporation PO Box 156, Yungaburra QLD 4884 www.tablelandsfutures.com Facilitating sustainable prosperity Mountain Biking | The benefits to the Atherton Tablelands Executive Summary Where else on the planet can you mountain bike and be immersed in pristine World Heritage Rainforests, go from savannah to ocean to rainforest in one day and experience unique flora and fauna in one of the worlds most concentrated and bio-diverse natural environments? Tablelands Integrated Mountain Bike Alliance (TiMBa) – a subcommittee of Tablelands Futures Corporation have a vision and a plan to develop the Atherton Tablelands as a world class mountain biking destination. Over recent years, significant initiatives have been delivered to ensure this vision is a reality including a whole of region approach to make Tropical North Queensland the premier mountain bike destination in Australia and an internationally renowned world class facility. Funding was secured to obtain feasibility and mapping reports to develop the Atherton Tablelands trail network. These reports led to Local, State and Federal Government funding for construction of world class trails at the Atherton Forest Mountain Bike Park; Davies Creek Mountain Bike Park and the Atherton Tablelands Rail Trails corridor. In addition the ongoing development of the Sunny Savannah Project and expanded Rail Trail network will provide additional infrastructure to drive demand. Mountain bike trails constructed to world class standards are a viable tourism attraction for the Atherton Tablelands and provide a significant economic stimulus to the local economy.

  • 5.2. Support for the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival Report Author
    32 of 183 5.2. SUPPORT FOR THE PORT DOUGLAS GRAND FONDO FESTIVAL REPORT AUTHOR Amy Mail, Tourism and Economic Development Officer MANAGER Terry Farrelly, Manager People and Community Services DEPARTMENT People and Community Services RECOMMENDATION The Council resolves to: 1. Provide a letter of support to Connect Sport Australia to accompany their funding application for the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival to regional and state tourism bodies. 2. Delegates authority under section 257 of the Local Government Act 2009 to the Chief Executive Officer to finalise any minor amendments in relation to the letter of support for the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Connect Sport Australia is a Far North Queensland-based company that runs cycling tours in Australia and Japan. They’re also the leading charity cycling event company in Australia, managing charity cycling tours for various charities since 2011. Connect Sport Australia are proposing a landmark event for the Douglas Shire entitled the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival, with proposed dates of the inaugural event to be 10 – 12 September 2021. These dates will capitalise on a seasonal lull that traditionally occurs in the first two weeks of September before school holidays. Their vision is to create an iconic, annual event that will become synonymous with Port Douglas, helping to establish the Douglas Shire as the ultimate Australian destination for people looking to combine event participation with an adventure holiday. The festival format of the Port Douglas Grand Fondo encourages multiple entries into events throughout the weekend and encompasses a viewing experience at all events for spectators and locals.
