Serpentine Reserve BMX Track – Update on Remediation Works

The Serpentine BMX track is currently closed following the discovery of asbestos-containing material at the site.

The track was initially closed on 23 December 2025 after small pieces of building material found on the surface were tested and confirmed to contain asbestos.

We have engaged a specialist contractor to undertake remediation works. This work is scheduled to commence in early April 2026 as follows:

• Site remediation

Initial works will involve removal of asbestos, certification and removal of soil. This work will involve statutory notification to SafeWork SA, establishment of an exclusion zone, airborne fibre monitoring and relevant certification

• Importation of clean fill

Following remediation works, new certified clean soil will be imported to the site.

• Reconstruction of BMX track

The BMX dirt jumps will be rebuilt at the same location in the same design using the new clean soil.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these important works are undertaken. We anticipate the BMX track being reopened in mid-2026.
