TRACK UPGRADE POWERS AHEAD FOR CLARENCE VALLEY BMX RIDERS

Clarence Valley’s BMX community is gearing up for a faster, safer future thanks to $19,250 in NSW Government funding to resurface the track at the Clarence Valley BMX Club, Clarence Nationals MP Richie Williamson has announced.

Mr Williamson said the funding, secured through the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership program, will ensure the Club can continue to support local riders of all ages — while getting ready for a major event on the regional sporting calendar.

“Clarence Valley BMX Club is a fantastic grassroots organisation helping kids and adults stay active, build confidence and be part of a thriving sporting community,” Mr Williamson said.

“With the club set to host a round of the NSW State BMX Series in August 2026, this upgrade couldn’t come at a better time. I’m thrilled we can help deliver a top-standard facility right here in the Clarence.”

Clarence Valley BMX Club spokesperson Ben Smith said the support was a huge boost for the volunteer-run organisation.

“We’re thrilled to share that we were successful! Thanks to this grant, we can bring our track up to state-level standard. Our riders will soon be enjoying a fresh new surface — and no doubt setting new PBs in the process,” Mr Smith said.

“This upgrade will ease the workload for our volunteers and allow us to spend more time supporting our riders and promoting the sport we love. A huge thank you to Richie and the NSW Government for making this possible — it truly means a lot to our club.”

Mr Williamson said the project is one of 22 across the Clarence and Richmond Valleys receiving support in the latest round of Community Building Partnership funding.
