Urgent Action Required – Write or email Minister before August 20, 2019
Thank you to everyone who made a submission in 2018 to Help Save Mount Canobolas SCA from a new threat — Over 60 km of EXCLUSIVE mountain biking ONLY trails within our fragile reserve.
The fight is not over – A decision from the NSW Minister for Energy and Environment, Matt Kean, is imminent. We urgently need to reinforce our opposition to this unsustainable proposal.

The Mountain Biking Threat
High-intensity mountain biking is incompatible with the primary nature conservation objectives of the SCA. It is unacceptable to desecrate the SCA when multiple viable mountain biking venues exist outside the SCA on land that does not have high conservation values.
Alternative Sites for Mountain Biking
The proponents of mountain biking have not adequately considered alternatives to the SCA for the development of a mountain biking industry. They have adopted the standpoint that Mt Canobolas SCA is iconic and they want it for mountain biking.
