Undertook a detailed trail assessment of all Ruapehu District Council (RDC) managed trails using Xyst’s trail assessment system and against HB8630:2004. An individual assessment report has been prepared for every trail and this will include a complete assessment of all aspects of trail provision including visitor experience, current and recommended grade, accessibility, CPTED, hazards and risk and maintenance. We captured the extent of each trail using GPS and provided this information in an up-to-date GIS layer to Council. Plus, we reviewed the provision of trails by other agencies within the district and any private provision of trail facilities.
