Victoria’s Trails Strategy 2014-2024 sets out the need for investment and ongoing maintenance of our trails system to ensure a safe and positive experience for all visitors. Furthermore, Victoria’s ability to tap into the fast growing nature tourism sector will provide a boost to regional economies and have positive flow-on effects, including job creation. The five directions identified in the strategy are: provide a strategic framework for trail investment; support effective planning, development and maintenance of trails; provide high quality information regarding trails; create better trail experiences; and market trails. Investment is also necessary to facilitate development of accommodation, amenities and destination marketing. Given the information needs and expectations of intrastate, interstate and international visitors, creating a central, comprehensive online resource is a must.
