Trail objective

The objective is to extend the Red Hill Rail Trail and shared-use path up to the Arthurs Seat Summit, creating a scenic route through this hilly precinct of the Peninsula. The existing trail network in this area comprises varied surfaces, including gravel, asphalt, and boardwalks of different widths, so strict shared-use path guidelines will be relaxed to preserve the landscape character and manage construction complexity. East of Pandara Road, the ideal alignment follows the north side of Arthurs Seat Road, while west of Pandara Road, three alignment options are under evaluation.

Highest ranked route:

This trail descends from Arthurs Seat through forested areas with sweeping views of Red Hill, connecting the semi-rural ridge-line community and offering health, fitness, and recreational opportunities for residents and tourists alike. Where feasible, the trail will use existing gravel service roads, with enhanced wayfinding for improved accessibility.

Alignment C (Highest ranked):

Follow Arthurs Seat Rd to the summit within the north side of the road reserve to Nestle Court where the trail continues along Nestle Court and connects into the Arthurs Seat State Park trail network. Nestle Court is a quiet residential street where a relatively safe share use environment could be created.

SCORE: 31.3
