The Committee has finalised the Rail Trails Australia Strategy 2020-2022 with four goals –
1. More and higher quality rail trails
2. More people using rail trails
3. Connected and effective rail trail organisations
4. A sustainable, volunteer-led RTA
Thanks to the over 600 people who completed the survey late last year, which we used to inform the strategy.
We have commenced implementation. Over 2020 you will see some changes including a new website, membership model and changes to our communications. We are also thrilled to have some new volunteers and now have over 25 active volunteers.
The RTA Strategy is available under About Us and here.
