This commitment is part of the Councils’ work with the Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail Inc to champion the development of the rail corridor and represent the expectations of the community. The Department of Transport and Main Roads funded the project and the two Councils oversaw the preparation of the report. The proposed Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail would be developed effectively on two disused railway corridors between Taragoola (Calliope) and Reids Creek (Gayndah). These railway corridors are the Gladstone to Monto corridor (though the study area starts at Taragoola) corridor and the Monto to Gayndah corridor (though the study area ends at Reids Creek). The railway corridors (together) cover a distance of some 270.75 kilometres – conversion to a rail trail would make this the longest rail trail in Australia. The study was commissioned to ascertain whether it is a worthwhile project, and whether the trail will deliver the anticipated and desired benefits. In November 2018, an Interim Report addressing key issues associated with developing a rail trail along the entire corridor was submitted to both Councils which provided direction for the remainder of the investigation. (The Interim Report included a discussion on rail trails in general, provided an assessment of the corridor by section, and canvassed a number of issues and opportunities in significant detail. This Final Report provides only a summary of the key issues and opportunities). The Interim Report concluded with two recommendations based on consideration of the corridor assessment, issues and opportunities: Gladstone Regional Council and North Burnett Regional Council review the Interim Report. The Councils determine to proceed with more detailed planning for the three identified candidate rail trails - Futters Creek Bridge to Ubobo, Builyan to Kalpowar, and Mundubbera to Mt Debateable (including a trail to the stone pitched embankments east of Mt Debateable siding). This planning will verify trail development requirements and focus on key infrastructure identified as necessary for rail trail development. A decision to proceed to this stage does not commit either Council (or the Department of Transport and Main Roads) to the development of the three trails. The Interim Report and recommendations were accepted by both Councils. While the Interim Report was approved by officers of Gladstone Regional Council, North Burnett Regional Council formally resolved (at its meeting of 30 November) as follows: That: 1. North Burnett Regional Council receive the Interim Report; 2. The Council agree to proceed with a more detailed planning for the identified candidate rail trails within the North Burnett Region - Builyan to Kalpowar, and Mundubbera to Mt Debateable (including a trail to the stone pitched embankments east of Mt Debateable siding) as this is still within the original funding of the project grant and will be at no Mike Halliburton Associates and Transplan Pty Ltd 4 Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail Final Report addition cost to Council. The planning is to verify trail development requirements and focus on key infrastructure identified as necessary for rail trail development; 3. It is noted that a decision to proceed to this stage does not commit Council (or the Department of Transport and Main Roads) to the development of the identified candidate trails; and 4. Council will not fund any potential capital and maintenance cost associated identified in the Burnett Boyne Inland Rail Trail Interim Report The historic and heritage listed bridges between Mundubbera and Gayndah are a major factor influencing the attractiveness of this section of disused railway corridor for development of a standalone rail trail. The Interim Report recommended the development of three shorter trails along the corridor in recognition of market and cost realities. Consequently, this report focusses on the development of the three individual rail trails. It may be possible or desirable in the future to develop further trails along the corridor (perhaps even the long trail) but there is no clear business case for developing a long trail presently. Retaining the rail corridor in public ownership would be necessary for future development of a long trail. This Feasibility Study (focussing primarily on the three shorter trails) seeks to answer a number of critical questions: Is there a viable trail route (is a trail route physically possible)? Are there alternative uses for the corridor that will provide more value to the community? Are these alternative uses viable? Will the rail trail provide a quality user experience (terrain / landscape / history)? Is there a market for the proposed trail (local people and visitors who will be attracted to use it)? Mike Halliburton Associates and Transplan Pty Ltd 5 Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail Final Report Will the rail trail create any unmanageable or unmitigated impacts on adjoining landholders’ farming practices and lifestyles? Are the local government and key stakeholders supportive of the concept? Are there supportive/strong advocates (in the community)? Is there a supportive community? Would the trail be value for money? Is there a commitment to the ongoing maintenance of the trail (“friends of …” group or support network)? Will the trail provide a unique experience? Is there a demonstrated benefit to trail users and, especially, the host communities? The feasibility statement set out in Section 8 answers these questions. Generally, the answer to most of these questions is “Yes”. WHAT IS A RAIL TRAIL? A rail trail is a multi-use recreation trail running on a disused rail corridor (public land) for non- motorised recreation. There are over 100 established rail trails in Australia, the majority of which are in Victoria. South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, NSW and the Northern Territory also have rail trails albeit a small number in each state. A number are under consideration in Queensland. The six tunnels between Many Peaks and Kalpowar would be a unique feature of the proposed rail trail and a major attraction for potential visitors. Mike Halliburton Associates and Transplan Pty Ltd 6 Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail Final Report ISSUES There are a range of issues involved when considering a rail trail project. These issues were considered extensively in the Interim Report. In summary the issues are: Tenure and land ownership. The two railway corridors remain in public ownership. However, field investigations reveal two apparent tenure anomalies (neither of which are major but which do have some impact on trail design should a trail proceed). These are near the Dirnbir siding and at the Mundubbera aerodrome. The issue of the Dirnbir siding is no longer relevant to the recommended trail route. The other issue at the western end is the different tenure arrangements for the corridor currently. North Burnett Regional Council has a licence with DTMR for a section of the rail corridor to the Mundubbera Railway Station. There is a sub-lease with the Mundubbera Enterprise Association for the Railway Station and a smaller section of the corridor (Bauer Street to Orton Street). The Burnett River Rail Trail group has a 2 year access licence from Red Gully Bridge to Reids Creek. This is not a major issue if both parties agree that the trail should proceed. There are other licences and sub-leases along the corridor outside the immediate area of interest (in terms of developing the Burnett River Bridges Trail). A long trail versus a series of shorter rail trails. If fully developed along its entire length, the proposed Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail would be a rail trail of 270.75 kilometres – the longest rail trail in Australia. Whilst this has some appeal (simply being the longest may attract some particular usage), the case has been made that developing a series of shorter trails provides a better experience for a wider range of users (and provides for a cheaper project to both build and maintain). The low number of long rail trails in Australia may suggest that demand for such a product is relatively low, though it is hard to make a decisive comment as demand data does not exist. This report focusses on the three shorter trails. The old railway stations at Mundubbera (above) and at Gayndah have been preserved and restored, thanks to the hard work of local heritage groups. Mike Halliburton Associates and Transplan Pty Ltd 7 Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail Final Report Landholder issues. Adjacent landholders are traditionally – and understandably – apprehensive about trails close to their properties. It is important that these concerns are seriously addressed before any trail conversion takes place. Many landholders resent having things imposed on them or feeling as if they have no say in what is happening around them. Many landholders are resistant to change of any sort, let alone one they perceive will have detrimental impacts on their lifestyle as well as on their farming operations.
