Maintaining a 300 km route across 22 stages requires ongoing coordination, monitoring and investment.
During the first half of 2026, the Company undertook maintenance and restoration work, including the reopening of Stage 4 following clearing, pathway repairs, protective fencing and restoration of the original alignment where possible. Work also continued on access issues and planning for the Stage 2 reroute.
Other operational priorities include:
- Routine trail clearing and maintenance.
- Signage and waymark improvements.
- Digital navigation and trail-condition updates.
- Visitor safety communications and incident-response arrangements.
- Coordination with estate management, Government agencies and other landowners.
- Development of visitor experiences and operational standards.
The Company’s work in this area is essential to maintaining access, supporting visitor confidence and protecting the long-term viability of the trail.
