The $12 million Red Centre Adventure Ride near Alice Springs is a 'dead duck' due to years of failed negotiations between the NT government and traditional owners of the land.

The project announced in 2018 has failed due to a breakdown in negotiations between the NT government and traditional owners from the Tjorita /West MacDonnell National Park.The NT government says it is committed to building the track when it reaches consent and agreement with traditional owners .

The money earmarked for the trail would be redistributed to the Alice Springs Desert Park, Alice Springs Telegraph Station, Tennant Creek's Battery Hill, the National Road Transport Hall of Fame and to address water security issues in the West MacDonnell National Park. "The Alice Springs Telegraph station and the Road Transport Hall of Fame are both amazing facilities but I would like to see something new in Alice Springs, whether it is a cycling product or not."has been so successful for the region that it is heartbreaking that we can't create a companion mountain bike experience," Mr Bitar said.

"When we do reach a position of consent and agreement around the Red Centre Adventure Ride, then we will work to fund that," he said.Why towns with the space should jump at the chance to have mountain bike trailsJake's support worker tells him to settle down.
