Omeo Mountain Bike Park - final project update
It's open!
What an epic moment for Omeo - and for everyone who's backed this wild ride from day one. When the 114-kilometre Omeo MTB Park network officially opened on Friday 5 December, it felt like we'd all just dropped into the biggest shared victory lap. After years of dreaming, planning, shovelling and fine-tuning, the ribbon was cut. Within minutes, locals and visitors were already out there sending it. Local businesses felt the buzz as riders and families explored both the trails and the town - and the stoke is still strong throughout the town.
A proud moment for the community
East Gippsland Shire Council CEO Fiona Weigall kicked things off, calling the launch "a proud moment for Omeo, made possible by the perseverance, ideas and advocacy of the community". Cr Sonia Buckley, former mayor and Omeo local Natalie O'Connell, trail network constructor Ben Lohse, and committee member Leigh Fulton all paid tribute to the locals who shaped the project. Cr Buckley highlighted the long-term value of the investment, calling the trails "economic drivers and community builders".
