Plan of the Makara Peak car park (1.1MB PDF)
Background
Based on the Makara Peak Mountain Bike Master Plan, the main purpose of this upgrade was to support the foreseen growth and future use of the mountain bike park as a regional destination.
The plan also notes the importance of the entrance area being able to function as a hub for visitors to the Peak. It recognises the importance of sense of place, specifically the natural setting the park sits within. This idea of ‘sense of place’ is something the plan sets out to enhance.
