ANGRY Clonbinane residents have forced the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) to halt plans for building a trail bike recreation hub "on their back doorstep" after the devastation of Black Saturday.The DSE proposed to build a toilet block, shelter shed and a large car park for 29 cars and trailers on Leviathan Track, off Spur Road, in the heart of the fire-ravaged community.
The recently formed Clonbinane Mountain Residents’ Action Group opposing DSE plans believes the development is "a kick in the guts" for people in the Clonbinane and Reedy Creek area.
The group says the community and local residents were not consulted and it is only recently that plans for the trail bike 
facility have been published on the DSE website.
They are fighting to have the trail bike recreation hub moved to Regular Camp or No.1 Camp but believe it is still too early for the development after the February 7 bushfires."We are not opposed to the concept of facilities for trail bike riders, but we will bitterly oppose a trail bike facility that is only 600 metres from the nearest home and a kilometre away from the residential Doctors Creek Road," Clonbinane resident and group co-ordinator Trevor Viénet said."Families are trying to put their lives back together up here on the mountain …give us a break and place it a further 10 kilometres into the forest!"He said 70 per cent of homes were lost on Doctors Creek Road on Black Saturday and many residents would be unaware of the development as they are living elsewhere until their homes are re-built.
The group believes it is not just the families trying to rebuild their lives after the bushfires who will be affected by the development, but also the environment.They claim there has not been a post fire re-evaluation of the project to determine the impact on the recovering forest or the increased noise for nearby residents.
"The sound of trail bikes carries a long distance throughout the forest and will be frightfully loud now with the reduced tree cover," Clonbinane resident Cathy Soulsby said."I am also concerned that the DSE will allow recreational vehicles back into a forest that requires a lot of time to heal."
Member for Seymour Ben Hardman has been sympathetic to the group's concerns, and in a letter addressed to Minister for Environment he asked that the "changed circumstances" be considered.The construction was to coincide with the reopening of Mt Disappointment State Forest to recreational vehicles on the Melbourne Cup Day weekend but has been halted to address the group’s concerns.
Statewide Recreation and Tourism Co-ordinator Richard Wadsworth said the DSE ran a nine-month consultation process and "it was unfortunate that the group's concerns were not reflected".
"DSE will be revisiting the issue," he said, "of the appropriateness of the Trail Bike Visitor Area through the Community Reference Group (CRG) that was set up in 2008 to provide advice to DSE on the implementation of the Trail Bike Initiative at Mt. Disappointment."Mr Viénet argues that the CRG does not represent the community and the DSE is trying to create a diversion."My concerns are that the CRG does not represent communities at all and consists of those people who mainly have interest in motorcycling in state forests," he said."This is not an issue that can be dealt with by a so called Community Reference Group."The DSE cannot divorce itself from its responsibility to the local community or the environment.
"They need to take direct control and case-manage our concerns rather than pass it off to a splinter interest group."The Clonbinane Mountain Action Group will not lie down on these issues."The Clonbinane Mountain Action Group will meet with the Community Reference Group (CRG) on September 9.
