Trails & Recreation

The trails network through the Shire provides an incredible asset for the community. PALs continues to support this initiative and continues to advocate for the multi use recreational opportunities including walkers, cyclists, horse riders and runners.

The advantages this type of recreation delivers to the community results in a fitter, more resilient and happier community.

Landowner opportunities

Many landowners that live in the Green Wedge often do not have the opportunities to enjoy recreational pursuits that many others in the community enjoy. Often landowners are time poor with maintenance and work requirements in relation to their own holdings that take up much of their valuable time. This is a lifestyle choice that most, if not all, landowners make. It is their right to immerse themselves in their lifestyle choices and enjoy the workload that a rural property requires.

Council has a responsibility to support the sound and good management practices landowners consider imperative for a viable, productive and beautiful landscape that is provided free of charge to the visiting public.
