Blue Derby Income

An interesting insight from the March 2021 Dorset Council meeting minutes indicating that the Council received a total of $190,000 in revenue from the Blue Derby bike trails in the 2019-20 financial year.

The breakdown provided was:

• Sponsorship -$84,8622
• Hire of trails -$2,080
• Donation boxes -$4,381
• Sale of souvenirs (merchandise) -$21,130

Additional revenue was raised as follows:–

• Break O’Day Council annual contribution -$25,000 (trail repair and maintenance –Blue Tier)
• Derby Waste Levy -$20,814
• Shower Revenue -$18,838
• Net profit from Australian MTB Summit Event -$13,330

Unfortunately there does not seem to be any matching disclosure over the expenses over that period.

The 2018-19 Annual Report shows the contract with World Trails for building Stage 2 pf the trails was for $1.5million.
