In an effort to take the pressure off Mount Coot-tha’s heavily used trails, almost 90 Brisbane bushland reserves could be opened up as sustainable mountain-biking tracks.
Mount Coot-has trails were used more than seven hundred thousand times annually according to the council’s environment, parks and sustainability chairwomen Fiona Cunningham.
In total, 48 reserves are proposed for off-road cycling over the next five years and 38 for long-term development.
