The draft Northern Trails Strategy 2022 builds on the foundations of the previous 2016 Strategy. It is focused on delivering regionally significant trails that connect multiple municipalities and significant places of interest in northern Melbourne.

The draft 2022 Strategy provides an updated blueprint and strategic framework for the future development and maintenance of the recreational off-road trail network located across northern metropolitan Melbourne.

As a collaborative project between Moreland, Darebin, Banyule, Hume, Whittlesea, and Nillumbik Councils, Northern Trails 2022 aims to ensure integration of planning, advocacy and development efforts, while making recommendations for trail infrastructure, management, marketing and improvement projects.
