Future Directions - Larapinta Trail Management Strategy
The Larapinta Trail Vision
The Larapinta Trail will be renowned world-wide as an easily accessible and well maintained track which provides an appreciation of the remoteness, grandeur and cultural significance of the West MacDonnell Ranges through a variety of walking experiences.
The Larapinta Trail was completed in 2002, after 12 years of extensive planning and construction. Following such a long period of development, it became increasingly evident that a ‘whole-of-Trail’ management approach was required to build and maintain the Larapinta Trail as a world class desert walking track.
In partnership with Tourism NT, the Parks and Wildlife Service contracted Planning For People to develop a strategic approach to manage the Trail over the next decade. Following extensive stakeholder consultation The Larapinta Trail Management Strategy was developed.
The Strategy was endorsed by the NT Government in November 2005 and key actions are currently being implemented by the Parks and Wildlife Service.
