Each request was rated using a scoring system based on the nine planning principles
The maximum score any request can receive is nine, as each planning principle is worth
one point. If the track or trail is not consistent with the hierarchy, however, it
automatically scores a zero. Community Planning documents also support the
development of tracks and trails in specific locations (refer to Section 3.0).Refer to
Appendix 5.0 for details of the requested new developments.
Upgrades to existing trails were assessed in the following order:
• Improvement to safety = 3 points
• Works likely to increase usage = 2 points
• Works likely to improve aesthetics / comfort = 1 point
From an upgrade perspective, the priorities are to carry out improvements to:
• Little Lake Boort Track
• Inglewood Reservoir Track
• Tarnagulla Town Walk
• Bridgewater River Walk.
Refer to Appendix 5.0 for details of all requested upgrades.
