GCTA works with government agencies to promote networks of sustainable MTB tracks. In exchange for access, GCTA organises trail care sessions attended by MTB volunteers. GCTA brought Joey Klein to Brisbane in 2003 and 2005 to teach the IMBA model. GCTA promotes the MTB Rules of the Trail.
Gap Creek Trails Alliance, a not-for-profit association was formed in June 2001 to work with land managers to provide legitimate access for mountain bike riders.

Gap Creek Reserve and other parts of Mt Coot-tha Forest, which is managed by Brisbane City Council, now have designated multiuse and mountain bike only trails. A track map is freely available from the BCC Call Centre on 3403 8888.

GCTA has promoted responsible riding on sustainable trails through a code of conduct for recreational riding.

The most significant achievement has been the formation of trail care working groups. Regular trail care has been organised at Gap Creek Reserve since November 2004, and is on-going with support from BCC.
Mountain bike access in the Daisy Hill region has also been improved as riders have committed to regular trail care in Daisy Hill State Forest and Logan City reserves.

In 2005, GCTA was awarded the QORF environmental award as recognition for trail care projects throughout south-east Queensland. Gillian Duncan, President of GCTA also received the QORF award for Outstanding Individual Achievement.
Mountain biking on sustainable, fun tracks is now available in the greater Brisbane region.
