Hume Region Significant Tracks & Trails Strategy

From snow covered mountains to river plains, thick native bush land, waterfalls, river flats and undulating agricultural land, the Hume region of Victoria provides some of the most scenic and diverse opportunities for cycling, walking and horse riding in the nation. 

The Hume region of Victoria, which encompasses 40,000 square kilometres of land, is managed by 12 Local Government Authorities and three Alpine Resorts as well as Parks Victoria and the Department of Environment and Primary Industries. Collectively these organisations wish to continue to lead the way in providing a diverse range of world class tracks and trails that provide a high quality recreational experience for visitors to the region and local residents.

The aim of this strategy is to improve existing regionally significant tracks / trails in the Hume region of Victoria; identify any new regionally significant tracks / trails or extensions required; and identify other factors that will encourage greater use and awareness of tracks and trails in the region.

The strategy will be used to support land managers (Local Government Authorities, State Government Agencies and community based groups), to promote tourism potential and to seek funding and resources to develop, enhance and upgrade regionally significant tracks and trails in the region in accordance with the recommendations contained within this document.

The Hume Region Significant Tracks and Trails Committee will Implement the recommendations contained within the strategy and this committee comprises of Local Government representatives, Alpine Resort representatives, Department of Environment and Primary Industries, Parks Victoria, Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure, Regional Development Victoria, Tourism Victoria and community representatives.
