Mike Maher, Director of Transplan Pty Ltd, made a presentation at the recently convened Rail Trails for NSW workshop, held in Sydney on Tuesday 26th August. The theme of the workshop was “Making it happen”. Mike’s presentation provided detailed infromation on what goes into the preparation of a feasibility study and a detailed trail development plan. Mike also assisted with coordinating the “Resolving landowner issues” and “Handing objections” session. Another significant presentation was the description of the complex application form (designed for rail trail groups intent on making a funding application for the construction of their trail). Momentum is certainly building in NSW and all rail trail advocates eagerly await the NSW government making railway corridors available and funding available. 16 rail trail groups from around NSW attended the workshop, amply illustrating the tremendous interest in getting rail trails developed on former government railway corridors throughout NSW.
