ARE YOU passionate about hiking and discovering the Whitsundays’ stunning natural landscapes?
Whitsunday Regional Council is assessing the Whitsundays’ mainland walking trail network.
This is to understand the public’s perception of, and demand for, upgraded or expanded walking trails in the region.
Whitsunday residents, and visitors to the region, can have their say on the type of, and demand for, walking trails via a short survey on the Whitsunday Regional Council website.
“Our natural assets are a strength of our region, and we are eager to understand if they meet the needs of residents and visitors,” Whitsunday Regional Council said.
“Currently, there are 19 mainland trails in the Whitsundays, of varying length, difficulty and habitats.
“Not all are within bushland environments.”
