This week, we discuss the proposal to develop tracks and trails throughout Mitchell Shire. We chat about the possibilities of developing links within the shire and also with neighbouring shires. We will look at the health benefits of walking and cycling in the environment. We will also examine the need to protect our natural treasures.
The planned growth in the population in the Shire means that we need to plan for our future now. Estates being developed now should include provision for safe walking and cycling to schools and public transport as well as local health and shopping access.
Special guests Pauline Duff and Tim Budge from the Mitchell Alliance for Tracks and Trails (MATT) join Marie Gerrard on EarthChat as they discuss a dream to make the most of our rural environment in a sustainable way.
