Keira Permanent Trail Closures- 11/6/26

We have advice from NPWS that the closure of selected trails will commence soon. We are waiting for further communication, which we will post as soon as we get it.

We understand that some trails may already have signage relating to the closure installed as NPWS prepare for the work to begin, possibly as early as next week.

Edit: This information is provided to members and riders only to keep you informed. WMBC is not involved in any way with the closures and continues to advocate for increasing trails in the Illawarra.

CANCELLED due to lack of volunteers.

Calling All Kembla Trail Volunteers

The next volunteer trail session is locked in for this Saturday 13 June, from 12.30pm to 4pm. NPWS are trialling an afternoon session based on feedback that the usual morning sessions can clash with weekend sport and other activities.

This session will focus on Jaws, the popular black jump line, with feature maintenance and improvements to keep the trail running smooth.
This is a great chance to get involved on one of the park’s more advanced lines and help maintain the quality that we all want to see.

The crew from Iconic trails will be there to guide the session, offering tips and experience. This is a great way to contribute and pick up some new skills along the way.

If you’re keen to take part, please register via the NPWS Better Impact web page or app. Assistance with registration can be found on our website www.wollongongmtbclub.com.au

Volunteers under 18 are welcome, but must attend with a responsible adult for the entire session, including the safety briefing.

Thanks in advance for your support – it all makes a big difference out on our trails.
