Yaburara Heritage Trail Redevelopment Plan – Final Report (Shire of Roebourne)

Transplan Pty Ltd has submitted the final report to the client (National Trust of Australia (WA) and the Shire of Roebourne). The report makes numerous recommendations for the upgrading of the (now) 25 year old walk trail including: the building of hundreds of rock steps to improve safety and useability of the trail network, the construction of rock water bars to control stormwater run-off, the installation of improved trail directional signage, seating, management access gates (to keep unauthorised users of the trail) and upgraded trailheads. Importantly, the report recommends the creation of 5 stand-alone trails using the existing tracks that already exist throughout the Karratha Hills. This will provide existing and potential users with a choice of trails, depending on their ability and availability of time. The 5 trails include the original end-to-end trail, 3 loop trails of varying lengths, and a short out-and-back trail. Upgrading of the existing interpretation along the trail network will be considered in a future project.
