Trail Planning & Design
Back to Specialist ServicesWe provide planning and design services for recreational and multi-use trail systems, supporting projects from initial concept through to construction.
Designing Sustainable Trail Systems
Our trail planning and design services help landowners, organisations, and public agencies develop functional, sustainable trail networks that work with the natural landscape.
We work across all stages, from early concept development through to detailed design and construction. By understanding the characteristics of the land, we create trail layouts that make the best use of existing terrain, minimise environmental impact, and provide long-term usability.
Trails can be designed for a wide range of uses, including hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, equestrian use, and multi-use recreational systems. Each design is tailored to the intended use, site conditions, and level of activity.
Where trails are intended for organised or competitive events, additional considerations such as route design, terrain variation, access, and supporting facilities are incorporated to meet specific requirements.
