15.01.2022 There has never been a better time for Western Australians to get outdoors and enjoy what our State has to offer. And we want to make the experience even bette...r. Thats why we have released a 10-year WA Hiking Strategy to ensure Western Australians continue to enjoy the great outdoors in a safe and sustainable way. Our hiking trails experienced record levels of participation over April and May and we want to make sure Western Australians continue to enjoy hiking and trail running. The strategy is the first of its kind in the country and complements other trail strategies developed over the past 25 years in WA that focus on areas such as mountain biking and horse trails. It will focus on traditional bushwalking and the emerging growth area of trail running, and will guide industry in the funding and development of hiking and trails for the next decade. The State Government has allocated $250,000 over the next three years to encourage participation. This 10-year strategy will help guide government investment and lead to stronger community development and economic outcomes - including regional development and job creation - throughout the State. You can read the strategy in full by visiting https://www.dlgsc.wa.gov.au//wa-hiking-strategy-bushwalkin
