National Walking Trails Classification System The Victorian Government Dept. of Sustainability and Environment is developing a system of classifying walking trails in Victorian state forests and recreational reserves. They have realised the possibility of such a system having relevance across all jurisdictions and so have invited other state land management agencies and user groups to become involved. The intention is to formulate a new system of grading walks that will be easily understood by the public. The idea is to codify the "walkability" of a track in terms of distance, gradient and weather factors, etc. This is in contrast to the existing Australian Standards for Track Construction currently used by QPW and many local government agencies in their maps and brochures. Bushwalking Australia has direct representation through David Reid in Victoria, and in Queensland your federation is represented by David Walker from the EPA, in liaison with myself as secretary. Bushwalking Qld. will be monitoring the project to determine the relevance of the system to bushwalking clubs, and to provide input from bushwalkers as required. Focus groups "with walkers" have already been held across Australia. Bushwalking Qld. Inc. would be interested to hear of any club or members of clubs that have been involved in these groups. The latest Newsletter from the Project is available (click here). The website (click here) has back issues of the newsletter and minutes of meetings, at the bottom of the home page, for downloading. Bushwalking Qld. Inc. will be happy to accept any bushwalker input for forwarding to David Walker. Please send details to the secretary at Email address: qfbwc@yahoo.com.au Postal address: The Secretary Bushwalking Queensland Inc. GPO Box 1573 Brisbane 4001. |
