TODAY: Have your say on recreational trails

Do you run, walk or ride around Broome? Which tracks and trails would you like to see developed, and where do you want them to go?

In order to help them develop a Recreation Trails Master Plan, the Shire of Broome is asking people to come along to a community workshop this afternoon at 5.30pm to tell them which trails are most used.

Shire of Broome club development officer Mike Doyle said anyone with suggestions or ideas on how to connect the Broome townsite was encouraged to attend the workshop.

“If you’d like to talk about how to connect our businesses, schools and key destinations then please join us,” he said.

“The aim of the Broome Recreation Trails Master Plan is to outline a long-term strategy for developing pathways, tracks and trails to connect existing and proposed destinations including housing estates, schools and parks, and key sporting, tourism, cultural and shopping destinations.

“We also want to identify potential areas to develop recreational activities including BMX and mountain bike riding, and personal training, running and triathlon circuits, along with ways to market and promote these sites and trails.”

The Recreation Trails Master Plan community workshop will be held at the Broome Civic Centre at 5.30pm tonight.
