Trail User Survey – Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup

Monday, March 28th, 2011

The Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup Trails Master Plan is currently being prepared by Transplan Pty Ltd. As part of the plan, residents and trail users of the Shire are asked to complete a questionnaire survey about their experience with trails in the Shire. The survey also asks residents to suggest potential new trails in the Shire. The survey is available on line (via a link on the Shire’s home page or via a link on Transplan’s home page). Survey period closes Friday 22 April 2011. The brief requires information about non-motorised trails (cycling, walking, horse riding) and does not include motorised modes (such as 4WD and trail bikes).
