Sunshine Coast Recreation Trail Plan 2012

Council adopted the Sunshine Coast recreation trail plan at its Ordinary Meeting on 31 January 2012.

The Sunshine Coast Recreation Trail Plan 2012 provides a vision for recreation trails on the Sunshine Coast, includes a network blueprint prioritising upgrades to existing trails, and proposes new trails and areas for further investigation. Council adopted the plan to guide the future development of a recreational trail network across the Sunshine Coast.

Overview

The Sunshine Coast Recreation Trail Plan 2012 is council's principal document to:

  • guide decision-making with respect to trail development for the next 10 years
  • evaluate the existing trail network
  • inform council's planning including the planning scheme, strategic documents, funding allocations and operational activity.

The plan focuses on the council-managed recreation trails, but proposes partnerships with other network managers such as national parks.

The plan considers recreation trails in natural and urban areas.
