The City of Whyalla are seeking your feedback on Path and Trails around Whyalla.
The City of Whyalla has a number of trails of varying difficulty and terrain that could put Whyalla on the map for a unique trails experience. The aim of the Whyalla Path and Trail Master Plan is to create a regionally, and nationally enticing trails experience within the region. This project will explore the full potential of the City of Whyalla and its surrounding area with a focus on developing both existing and new trails that capitalise on the City’s natural and built environments. This will include paths and trails for various walking, running, and cycling experiences. The Master Plan will also identify and clearly outline a program of path and trail infrastructure to be developed across the City.
