A TRAILBLAZING funding program by the state government is offering grants of up to $50,000 for new community-led trail projects in Western Australia.

Through the community trail planning grants program, nature enthusiasts, adventure seekers and lovers of the WA landscape can bring to life ideas for new trail experiences with financial support totalling $900,000 available over the next three years.

The grant program supports projects involving bushwalking, cycling, horse riding, snorkelling, trail running, mountain biking and much more.

Grants ranging from $5000 to $50,000 will be awarded to projects that demonstrate best practice in community consultation, inclusivity, sustainability and Aboriginal engagement, in line with the WA strategic trails blueprint 2022-2027 that guides future planning and development of trails throughout the state.

Eligible local governments, community organisations and active recreation clubs and associations are encouraged to apply for funding under the program, which is administered by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC).
