Warren Blackwood Regional Trails Strategy

The development of a Warren Blackwood Regional Trails Strategy is now underway, and we’re inviting community members, stakeholders, trail users, and businesses to have their say.

​

This project will guide the future of trails across the region — improving connectivity, enhancing visitor experiences, and supporting recreation, tourism, and community wellbeing across all five Shires.

​

Your input is essential to help shape a coordinated and sustainable trail network for the future.

 

​

How to get involved

We’re hosting a series of community workshops and drop-in sessions across the region.

• Community Workshops: Structured sessions where participants will work together to identify priorities, opportunities and ideas

• Community Drop-In Sessions: Informal sessions where you can come along anytime during the timeframe to chat with the consultants and share your thoughts

All sessions are open to locals, visitors, businesses, trail users, and anyone interested in the future of trails in our region.

 

​

Consultation Schedule

📍 Workshops run for the full session time, while drop-in sessions are informal so feel free to drop in anytime.

Why this matters

The Regional Trails Strategy will:

• Identify priority trail projects across the region

• Improve connections between towns, landscapes and experiences

• Support recreation, tourism and local economies

• Ensure trails are sustainable, accessible and well-managed into the future

The strategy is being developed in partnership with local governments, community, trail users and stakeholders to ensure it reflects local knowledge and regional priorities.
