The Wellington region sits on the southern end of New Zealand’s North Island and contains some outstanding trail-based experiences and the potential to significantly grow the use of outdoor trails.
All the government stakeholders in the region recognise the importance of working together, and the potential of the trail network to make a significant contribution to the lifestyle of residents and to the economic growth of the region through increased tourism numbers and yield. This project represents the outcome of those government entities and significant community trusts working together collaboratively to achieve the development of a framework and strategy that will help them realise that goal.
The framework provides the backbone for the organisations involved, the users (whether they be trampers, walkers, runners or riders), businesses and, more broadly, the community to work together in a well-coordinated way on priority projects that will help the region realise its vision for the future.
