Transplan Pty Ltd has submitted the final trail development plan to the client (Shire of Augusta Margaret River, City of Busselton and the National Trust). The trail development plan considered a wide range of trail construction matters including: clearing of the rail trail route, trail surfacing, fencing of the former railway corridor, road crossings, distance signage, installation of management access gates and trail user access gates, trailheads, toilets, directional signage, warning signage, emergency signage, fire planning, security screening, stock crossings, trailside furniture and promotional signage. The crossing of watercourses (by bridges and culverts) was the responsibility of others. An interpretation plan (by others) completes the comprehensive master planning project for the rail trail. Although significant sections of the rail trail have been in place for many years, the completion of the 109km rail trail is eargerly awaited by the community. The trail development plan has included an implementation schedule.
