Transplan Pty Ltd has been appointed by the Tablelands Regional Council to prepare a concept plan for the development of a trail on the disused railway between Atherton and Walkamin. The tasks include preparation of works lists, estimates of costs, trailhead designs, road crossing designs and artists impressions of what the rail trail will look like once completed. The proposed trail is approximately 20 kilometres long. Originally the intention was to develop a 36km trail between Atherton and Mareeba but with de-amalgamation occuring it is anticipated the 16km section of future trail in the Mareeba Council area will be developed at a future date.
