Wagga Wagga Multisport Cycling Complex

Updated July 2022

PROJECT COMPLETE! The Wagga Wagga Multisport Cycling Complex was completed in 2022!

The Wagga Wagga Multisport Cycling Complex (MSCC) project is a regionally significant multi-use facility at Pomingalarna Reserve, located 4km from the Wagga Wagga CBD. It is the largest multisport cycling complex in NSW and is capable of hosting regional, state, national and international events. The project was a collaboration between Wagga Wagga’s five cycling groups and the Wagga Wagga City Council and was completed in April 2022.

The multisport complex caters to cycling clubs and community members – both cyclists and non-cyclists - in a safe environment away from suburban and main road traffic.

The complex features a fenced children’s playground, mountain bike playground, new criterium track, jump and pump tracks, a cycling education area, an outdoor velodrome, a BMX track and new car parking and supporting infrastructure. The BMX Racing Track is certified for Oceanic Level International Events with the future capability to host BMX World Cups.

The project was funded by the NSW State Government ($6.92M) and Wagga Wagga City Council ($2.3M).

Planning for the Complex took into consideration Wagga Wagga City Council's Active Travel Plan – Cycling (ATP), Wagga Wagga Integrated Transport Strategy 2040 (WWITS) and Recreation, Open Space and Community Strategy and Implementation Plan 2040.

Funding

Funding for the $9.2M project was signed off in December 2018. The funding comprises a State Government contribution of $6.92M, with Wagga Wagga City Council contributing $2.3M.

Background

Wagga Wagga's five cycling groups collaborated with Wagga Wagga City Council in considering the future development of the city’s cycling facilities and share a common vision to progress cycling in Wagga Wagga.

The Combined Cycling Club of Wagga Wagga proposes to develop a multisport cycling complex at Pomingalarna Reserve, approximately 5.5kms from the central business area. The complex is proposed to be developed in stages as funding becomes available and if fully developed would feature purpose-built tracks, trails, a velodrome and educational areas for both recreation and competitive racing. In addition, the project would improve the facilities available at Pomingalarna to include toilets, change rooms, car parking and children’s play equipment. 

The Club has recently worked with Wagga Wagga City Council to develop a feasibility study for the complex and determined a total project cost of $8.2M is required to develop the full project scope. The next stage of the project is to undertake a review of environmental factors.
