Three Chillies Design wins design contract for Pwakkenbak/Tower Hill mountain bike trails

The long-awaited update on the Pwakkenbak, or Tower Hill, mountain bike trails has finally arrived, with the design contract awarded to Perth-based firm Three Chillies Design.

The Shire of Plantagenet announced on Wednesday the award-winning firm would design and build 10km of mountain, single-cross and downhill trails at Pwakkenbak.

The 10km stretch of trails will be completed over a five-month period after a clearing permit from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation is obtained.

“This is an exciting project for Plantagenet, which will offer local riders world-class trails to train on for competitions while hopefully attracting users from across the Great Southern region,” he said.

“These mountain bike trails will complement the universal-access pedestrian path, boardwalk and viewing platform delivered in 2021, which connects to the popular tourist attraction, the Rotary Club of Mount Barker Lookout.”
