KEEN motocross riders will be able to take to the track again at the Frankston Motorcycle Park after the Frankston City Motor Park Incorporated club signed a new lease agreement last Wednesday (14 October).

The motorcycle park has been closed since of the death of 25-year-old Danny Edlington in early April after a collision on the main track at the Frankston Motorcycle Park (‘Fatality closes motorcycle track’, The Times 13/4/15).

Council has agreed to a new management model and the park will now operate under an affiliation with Motorcycling Victoria. Club members will be covered by MV’s insurance policy.

The imminent reopening of the park ends months of uncertainty over the future of the facility.

Club president Ralph Ridley welcomed the signing of the lease.

“We look forward to welcoming our members back to the motorcycle park and working together to get back to doing what we all love,” he said.

Council set up a transition committee, including members of the motorcycle club committee, to find a way to reopen the track “without compromising the safety of riders”.

Cr Glenn Aitken, chair of the transition committee, thanked all those involved for their patience and time spent working with council to reopen the motorcycle park.

“If we hadn’t had the cooperation of the club’s committee membership, the track wouldn’t be reopening,” Cr Aitken said.

“I also wish to acknowledge the participation and assistance of Motorcycling Victoria.”

The club will manage memberships and fees at the motorcycle park and will shortly announce the reopening date to their members.
