Redland City Council has received reports of unauthorised modifications to the mountain biking (MTB) trail features at Eastern Escarpment Conservation Area in Mount Cotton.

These modifications pose significant safety risks to riders.

Trails affected by the unauthorised modifications include Powerful Howl and Rise Over Run.

Council crews have begun immediate works to improve the conditions, allow the trails to remain open and to ensure the safety of all trail users.

However, riders should exercise extreme caution this weekend.

Council will perform a comprehensive inspection of the entire trail network.

Here’s what you can do to help:

Ride with caution and be mindful of potential changes to trail conditions. Report any suspicious activity, hazards, or concerns directly to Council by phoning 3829 8999.

The safety of our trail users is Council’s top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the continued enjoyment of the trails.
