Albany Heritage Park Link Trails Project

The Albany Heritage Park Link Trails Project involves the rationalisation of the existing trails network at Mt Adelaide (Irrerup) and Mt Clarence (Corndarup). This initiative includes the closure and revegetation of approximately 1 hectare of unsanctioned trails, alongside the construction of new trails built to best-practice standards. The completed network will feature 8 km of single-use walking trails, 10 km of family-friendly mountain bike trails, and nearly 5 km of dual-use pathways for both pedestrians and cyclists.

State and Federal government clearing permits for construction of the trails were finalised in December 2024. The approval process spanned several years, with a considerable history of specialist assessments informing the revision of the trails footprint to minimise environmental impacts. The permit conditions also ensure the protection of 22 hectares of land within the Albany Heritage Park area as an offset for any residual environmental impacts.

The project has now advanced to the procurement phase with the City currently preparing Tender documentation for the construction of the trails.
