Media Release by RVRT Inc
Updated RVRT Presentation by Terry Lewin, RVRT Inc. Vice-President

​I presented a pre-recorded paper at the 2020 Australian Walking & Cycling Conference (Newcastle, October 1-2, 2020) titled - “Richmond Vale Rail Trail (RVRT, Hunter Valley, NSW): Background, Opportunities and Challenges”. RVRT-related planning has progressed significantly during the past 18 months, prompting me to update the material from the original conference presentation.

This 10 min. updated YouTube video includes: Background information about the RVRT (e.g., basic features, planning history, consistency with regional strategic plans, initial Development Approvals during 2021, related public infrastructure projects, community support, and future planning and approvals processes); Opportunities (e.g., common benefits of rail trails, unique RVRT benefits, destination opportunities); and Challenges (e.g., broad range of challenges/opportunities, trail evaluation considerations, optimising trail benefits).
