Transplan Pty Ltd, with Mike Halliburton Associates, has been appointed to prepare a feasibility study for the proposed trail by the Goulburn Crookwell Rail Trail Inc. group.
The (56km) disused Crookwell branch line has lain idle for decades and the local committee has been proposing it be converted into a rail trail for many years.
The announcement earlier this year by the Deputy Premier of NSW that funding will be available through the Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund for rail trails stimulated interest in the development of rail trails throughout NSW. Members of the local committee have worked tirelessly and assisted in the preparation of the Feasibility Study.
The final version of the Feasibility Study will be presented to the NSW Govwrnment in mid-November.
