Council approves Recreation Trail Plan
Sunshine Coast Council endorsed the Sunshine Coast Recreation
Trail Plan at today’s Ordinary Meeting.
Major Projects Portfolio and chair of the Recreation Trail
Reference Group, Councillor Debbie Blumel, said the Sunshine
Coast is well known for its network of regionally significant
trails such as the Great Walks, the Coastal Pathway, the Noosa
Trail, the Cooloola Way and mountain bike trails at Tewantin and
Parklands.
“The Sunshine Coast Recreation Trail Plan 2012 proposes to build
on the strengths of the existing trail network that is highly
valued by locals and visitors for bushwalking, horse riding and
mountain bike riding,” Councillor Blumel said.
“The plan outlines actions to improve the existing recreation
trail network through linkages and upgrades and provide a more
equitable distribution of local trails.
“It includes a network blueprint that prioritises upgrades of
existing trails, proposes new trails and infrastructure, and
identifies trail proposals requiring additional
investigation.
“The plan informs the allocation of funding to recreation trail
development and promotes a more consolidated approach to trails
planning, delivery and promotion on the Coast over the next 10
years.”
The Recreation Trail Reference Group was established in 2010 by
council to create a partnership between land managers, user
groups and council representatives, and to enable trail planning
and operations to be discussed in an open and collaborative
forum.
“As Chair of the Recreation Trail Reference Group, I am delighted
to see the progress that has been made on the plan,” Cr Blumel
said.
“The Group’s overarching vision for the plan was - to ensure a
variety of trails are available for residents and visitors so
they may safely enjoy the Sunshine Coast landscape on mountain
bike, horse back or by walking.
“I believe that the plan we presented to council has met this
vision and I’m looking forward to getting on with the job of
implementing the actions it contains.”
