The Tyrolean Trail Network is a large-scale shared-use trail project located in the Jindabyne region of NSW.

TRC Trails is delivering approximately 30km of trail, combining new construction with upgrades to existing alignments to create a connected recreational network for both walkers and mountain bikers.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

• Location: Jindabyne, NSW
• Project Type: Shared-use trail network (walking & MTB)
• Services Delivered: Trail construction, upgrades, network development

SCOPE OF WORK

TRC Trails is delivering a multi-stage trail network, including:

• Construction of new shared-use trail corridors
• Upgrades to existing trail alignments
• Integration of trail connections across the broader network
• Implementation of drainage and erosion control measures
• Feature development to enhance trail flow and usability

BUILD PROCESS

Due to the scale of the project, construction has been carefully staged across multiple work fronts to ensure efficient delivery while maintaining quality and environmental standards.

The network traverses varied terrain, requiring adaptive construction methods and close attention to environmental sensitivities. A combination of machine-built trail formation and hand-finishing has been used to refine trail features, optimise flow, and support long-term durability.

CHALLENGES

The scale and layout of the network required coordinated delivery across multiple construction zones.

Key challenges included:

• Working across varied and sometimes sensitive terrain
• Managing environmental considerations and erosion control
• Balancing construction efficiency with long-term sustainability outcomes

OUTCOME

The Tyrolean Trail Network is creating a well-connected and accessible recreational asset for the Jindabyne region.

The project enhances both community use and tourism opportunities, while sustainable design and construction approaches ensure the trail network performs over time with reduced maintenance requirements.
