Following Council endorsement of the Karratha & Wickham bike park sites at the August Council Meeting, the endorsed sites have now progressed through final concept development and cost refinement.

At the December 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting, Council endorsed the final concept designs in preparation for future design and construction tenders. View the Minutes here: December OCM Minutes

The endorsed locations were selected based on strong community support during the consultation process, with public feedback playing a key role in shaping the final concept designs.

Council agreed to invite Tenders for the detailed design and construction of the Wickham Bike Facility at the December 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting.

Construction of the Wickham Bike Facility is expected to begin later this year, with in-principle funding support from Rio Tinto through the Community Partnership Agreement.

For the Karratha Bike Park, Council will explore external funding opportunities, with delivery planned in future financial years.

As part of the decision to proceed with a Bike Park at Richardson Way Park, Council also endorsed the development of a Masterplan for the site to guide the coordinated planning and help create a vibrant, well utilised community space. The Richardson Way site presents a unique opportunity to transform an underutilised area into a key recreational and community precinct for the City.

The Masterplan will commence this financial year, with Council agreement for the Karratha Bike Park to be delivered as a priority following endorsement of the Masterplan towards the end of 2026.
