Toolangi All Purpose Track

PROJECT NAME: Toolangi All Purpose Track – ‘TAPT'

What is our project?

•  To develop a well signposted off road, all-purpose walking/horse riding/cycling track made from an all weather surface that provides a safe trail for pedestrians/horse and bike riders from Monda Track to Melba Highway , Castella. Have direct route, particularly through Toolangi, but establish a safe track as a priority.

How will we know when we have achieved our aim?

•  When the community can connect in safe continuous way using active transport – not motor vehicles
