Please show your support for the draft DEH trails strategy:
“LINKING ADELAIDE WITH NATURE”
Submission Closing date 25th June.
What you need to do to support this strategy:
Email Kain Gardner at kain.gardner@sa.gov.au State your interest in cycling and support for the draft trails strategy “Linking Adelaide with Nature”.
More info can be found here: http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/par...or/latest.html

Key points of the strategy:

* It’s a strategy to guide trail management of 24 DEH parks across the Adelaide hills. Anstey Hill, Black Hill, Morialta, Cleland, Belair, Sturt Gorge, Sheppard’s Hill, O’halloran Hill to name a few.

* It aligns DEH’s guiding principles and objectives with improved mountain bike access in DEH parks.

* It identifies the current inequity in trails in DEH parks, ie 500 km of trails for walkers and only 4 km of those trails allowing shared use with bikes.

* It displays an understanding of mountain bike riders desire for singletrack and vehicle tracks as opposed to only vehicle tracks, and acknowledges the diverse nature of the mountain bike community.

* It proposes a long distance off road cycle route from Gorge Rd to Sturt Gorge. This would be in the order of 60 km long.

* It recommends trail plans be prepared and finalised as follows:
2009~2010: Anstey Hill, Belair, Black Hill, Morialta, Cleland, Sturt Gorge.
2010~2013: Hallet Cove, Onkaparinga, Shepards Hill, O’halloran Hill.

* It recommends implementation of trail plans as follows:
2010~2013, Anstey Hill, Belair, Black Hill, Cleland, Morialta, Sturt Gorge.

It recommends investigation of the southern extension of the Mawson trail.

What you need to do to support this strategy: It’s simple -
