The Mountain Bike Feasibility Assessment Framework, developed for the Department of State Growth, provides a structured and consistent method for evaluating the potential of proposed mountain bike trail developments in Tasmania. Its purpose is to guide proponents—such as councils, land managers, and developers—through a weighted scoring system that assesses key factors including legislation, terrain, environmental setting, market demand, connectivity, and community support.

The framework’s value lies in helping decision-makers identify the most viable and sustainable development opportunities, compare different sites or concepts, and ensure proposals align with broader economic, environmental, and recreational goals. It also supports transparent, evidence-based planning that reduces risk and maximizes return on investment.

It equips land managers and maintainers with the tools to make informed decisions, tailor responses to different trail styles and conditions, and maintain consistency across a complex, multi-use networkm description
