The draft of the Trails Master Plan for the Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup is now available for review. The Council resolved on August 24th to make the draft available for review by the community until Wednesday 21st September 2011. Contact Deb Vanallen at the Shire for further details. Copies of the draft will be made available at the Shire offices in Donnybrook. The draft proposes a number of trail projects including renovation and promotion of the Shire’s 19 existing trails, a rail trail on the disused railway between Donnybrook and Wilga (in the Shire of Boyup Brook), small walk trail circuits based around the Bibbulmun Track (which runs through the Shire), a loop/circuit trail off the Munda Biddi Trail and connecting with Donnybrook (the Munda Biddi also runs through the Shire), a connection between Argyle and Donnybrook, new trails in and around Balingup and a heritage walk trail in Donnybrook and Balingup. Interpretation on existing trails has also been considered.
