  • South Australian Rail Trails
    South Australian Rail Trails The experience, lessons + opportunities… Report by Sarah Hirst and Susie Bower September 2014 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an overview of the construction and management of the Riesling and Rattler Trails in the Clare Valley in South Australia. Key Findings The name North East Rail Trail needs a rethink. The key comment was that it could be the North East anywhere in the world. The name needs to be easily identifiable as Tasmanian. The Clare and Gilbert Valley Council have designs signed off by an engineer to put concrete structures over the existing wooden bridges. This method saved time and money by not having to remove the existing bridge. The Clare and Gilbert Valley Council have access to the design of a structure that was towed behind a truck that made the crown of the trail. This allowed for the trail to be constructed quite quickly with excellent drainage to reduce ongoing maintenance costs. It might be possible to lay geo tech fabric to stop the ballast from rising to the surface, thus cutting down considerably on the cost of construction. Where possible bridges should only be pedestrian width which cuts down the cost of construction considerably. Drainage is a key component to identify and address before constructing the trail. Road crossings have very basic signage, just a give way sign. Very few road crossings, we only saw one that had chicanes. Quite a few properties had driveways intersecting the rail trail to access their home. The Friends of the Riesling Trail do not have a shortage of volunteers, often they have too many people wanting to volunteer and not enough for them to do.
