Trail Maintenance

Trail Guidelines
The Team Mount Beauty committee have developed the following guidelines for trail work. This aims to avoid the incidence of trail alterations, unsanctioned trails and the simplification of existing trails.
Trail workers should be TMB members, or be working alongside a TMB member with appropriate insurances, i.e. MTBA membership.
Please respect the trails and their design, intent and history. If the trail is too difficult, it just maybe a perfect challenge for someone else. If the trail is too easy, we are sure our mountain bike park has more difficult trails you can ride.
Trail Maintenance
At TMB we very much encourage and appreciate when trail maintenance happens. Trail maintenance is:

Rake hoeing and raking
Blower use
Brush cutting
Removing the cupped shoulders of trails
Cleaning existing drainage
Clearing the vegetation corridor
Removing fallen branches/trees from trail
Work that does not change the original intention/design of the trail

Trail Alterations
Please contact the TMB committee and the original trail builder if you have intentions to alter a trail. Alterations are:

alignment change
adding berms
adding jumps
benching in
adding new drainage (no cross drains)
altering rock gardens
removal of features
any work that changes the original intention/design of the trail

New Trails
Team Mt Beauty have a licence agreement with AGL, and one in progress with DELWP. Therefore any new trails need to go through a formal approval process. Please be respectful of this and contact the TMB committee before starting any new trail builds.
