The rail trail planning process for the proposed Goulburn Crookwell Rail Trail included 4 ‘open houses’ (or ‘drop in’ sessions): 2 in Crookwell and 2 in Goulburn. Each was for 7 hours (noon to 7pm), during which numerous supporters of the project and many adjoining landowners came in to talk with the project team and to view the display material. A series of ‘before’ and ‘after’ images illustrated how the constructed rail trail will look. The display also included a series of of 6 plans depicting the route of the former railway and the major construction elements of the rail trail; photographs of the conditions along the former railway corridor (bridges, embankments and cuttings) and several photographs showing common design solutions being used on other existing rail trails elsewhere in Australia.
