With a newly built bypass set to divert traffic around the town of Bindoon in Western Australia, community leaders are thinking outside the box to keep tourist dollars flowing.
It's hoped a newly opened mountain bike park will keep visitors coming to Bindoon after a major road bypassing the town opens next year.
These include the loss, on average, of four businesses, a 40 per cent reduction in traffic and a 35 per cent loss of local jobs. "This presents an opportunity for these businesses to tap into the additional visitors brought to town annually because of the establishment of the site," Ms Prinsloo said. Rider and committee member Lindsay Bennett said many current members previously had to travel significant distances to be involved in the sport."Before we always had to drive to Kalamunda and now we've got it on our doorstep."
