Rail Trail Friends launch in Guyra

13th Aug 2024

New England Visions 2030 (NEV 2030) will host the final Friends of New England Rail Trail launch event on Wednesday August 14th at the Guyra Bowling Club starting at 5.30pm.
There was good attendance at the two previous events with an estimated crowd of 125 at Armidale and 35 at Glen Innes.
The friends group was formed following the success of an online petition which was launched earlier this year. Their aim is to be a major community support group for the trail when it is up and running.
The steering committee includes members from Armidale, Guyra and Glen Innes. Armidale Mayor Sam Coupland will officially launch the Friends Group in Guyra.
The New England Rail Trail (NERT) was initiated in Guyra and was originally planned for Black Mountain to Ben Lomond. Glen Innes Severn Council saw the opportunity to expand the trail to Glen Innes Station and started their own planning.
Following the amalgamation between Armidale Dumaresq Council and Guyra Shire Council, the newly formed Armidale Regional Council inherited the project and passed a resolution to expand the trail to Armidale.
The first stages are currently being planned to start from Glen Innes to Glencoe and Armidale to Dumaresq respectively.
Former Guyra Mayor Hans Hietbrink will officiate at the Guyra event and Guyra local Dave Mills, will tell people the big story from how it was conceived to the present day.
It’s a free event - no need to register, just turn up and bring a friend.

Going strong for 100 years
