The design has been chosen for the Coldstream Pump Track following a large community response to the voting.
Some 271 votes were submitted, with 44.6 per cent of respondents choosing Option #2 as their preferred design.
Designers also met with the Coldstream Primary School with student feedback contributing to the final decision.
Paul Goodison from Yarra Ranges Council said the designers, Common Ground, were also able to refine the design to add features that were mentioned in the voting.
The jump focused track now features a separate beginners loop and lines which you can follow for more intermediate and advanced options.
“You can see that some people quite passionate about these things, so they had gone through in quite a bit of detail, which was good,” Mr Goodison said.
It’s expected the track will be well received by a wide variety of riders and suitable for scooters, bikes, mountain bikes, rollerblades.
“There’s not many of these around, it’s a sealed pump track, we’ve got only one other unsealed pump track in Yarra Ranges at Mount Evelyn,” he said.
“This project is also located on the site of the Yarra Valley Trail, and there’s a new shared use path on Station Street that connects this site back to the township.”
How the track all flows together from one loop to another is also a stand out feature, with other designs they may have been separated.
Currently the landscaping works have already started and toilet blocks, asphalting and track works will begin in mid to late September.
Completion is expected in December.
The total cost of the Coldstream Railway Project is just under $1.1 million supported by state and federal funding.
