Training on offer for locals building new mountain bike trails

The State Government is conducting a week-long course for up to 20 Collie and Dwellingup residents to help them develop the skills to find a job in the local trails industry.    The training initiative is part of the Government's broader $10 million plan to create and maintain more than 180km of high-quality mountain bike and bushwalking trails in Collie and Dwellingup.
 
The five-day Job Ready Trail Construction Training pilot project will be held from November 18-22 at Roche Park Recreation Centre in Collie, and on nearby land managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).   Participants will be taught a range of practical trail building skills to help them become job-ready and able to apply for future entry level trail construction jobs.

The course is being organised by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and DBCA. For more information and to apply, contact steve.bennett@dlgsc.wa.gov.au.
