A beginner's guide for community-led walkway and cycleway projects
One of our trailmaker members, Kaihu Valley Trail project, has shared a resource from the Kaipara District Council that may be useful to others. The guide helps project managers as they research and construct their trail. The guidance also includes a template to submit information for Council long-term planning. You can find these resources at the links below.
