Wyndham City's loan of off-road motorbikes to Victoria Police, aimed at preventing dirt bike hooning, has been extended until 2027.
Two off-road bikes were loaned last year to help Victoria Police's Westgate Highway Patrol Unit patrol off-road areas, building on our 10 year partnership to crack down on hooning.
Wyndham City's Mayor and Community Safety portfolio holder Cr Susan McIntyre said the loan extension would ensure police had the resources to continue to combat illegal trail bike riding and motorbike hooning.
"This is another way that Wyndham City is proactively and collaboratively working with Victoria Police to ensure community safety," she said.
"There is no excuse for someone to use our pathways, parks and reserves for illegal riding of motorcycles."
"We want our children and all park users to feel safe - without the threat of being caught in the path of illegal trail bikes."
If residents are affected by illegal trail bike use on roads or in Council parks and reserves, they should contact the Victoria Police Hoon Hotline/ Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000.
