Warburton Bike Park Shuttle Uplift Service

The Warburton Bike Park Shuttle Uplift Service operates on a fee for use basis designed to help you maximise your ride time, with multiple pass options available. Your shuttle pass fees play a vital role in caring for our trails, enhancing facilities and supporting the continued development of Warburton Bike Park. All shuttle revenue goes directly back into our trail maintenance and park operation, facilities and upgrades to keep Warburton Bike Park a premium riding experience,

Unlock more laps and more trail time with our shuttle uplift service, whether you’re here for a half day, single uplift or making a full day or weekend of it, our shuttles keep you riding – without the climb.

On the Day: Quick Tips

  1. Be prepared: Check your pass type, session window, and decide on your starting shuttle pick-up point. Shuttle pick-up points can be found in the below menus – Shuttle Pick-up Locations and Routes. Or on the Shuttle Map.
  2. Pack the right equipment: You are responsible for your own bike and equipment. Minimum requirements to use the shuttle service are:
    Australian-standard helmet
    Closed-toe shoes
    Bike with two working brakes and front suspension
    Note: You may be denied entry on the bus if you do not have suitable equipment for shuttling.
  3. Supervision: If your child is under 14 they will need to be supervised by a responsible adult over the age of 18. This responsible adult will need to hold a shuttle ticket for the same session as the child and supervise them on the trails throughout their session.
  4. Load efficiently: Riders are responsible for loading their own bikes. Follow staff guidance for safe and quick bike loading. If you need help, staff will be there to assist you.
  5. Finish smart: Started in Wesburn but ending in Warburton for lunch? There are shuttle buses that will take you back to Wesburn (day‑visitor start point). If you only pass is expired, no stress, you can still catch the Warburton – Wesburn Shuttle for FREE.
