FWIW, I had a meeting with Parks Victoria and the RIC, DRIC and a few others about another trail area, but we also started talking about the Yarra Trails, and it was mentioned that one of the local rangers has been instructed to (and has been) removing/demolishing a number of TTFs being built without permission. My next step after the introductions is to now sit down with the RIC from Yarra Bend Park and arrange to do both do an audit of the trails that are there, and then come up with a formal plan to determine what will be signed up and mapped as legitemate trail, what needs work and has both erosion and heritage issues to be addressed, and what areas can be slated for future trail development.
For this, I'll also need to identify key stakeholders by way of clubs to ensure this can follow through in an appropriate way.
We also talked about the future development of Dangenong Ranges, Woodlands Historic Park, Doongalla, and some future areas to be opened up for formal development in and around Kilsyth.
