Burchills were engaged by Yass Valley Council to complete a Feasability Assessment for the The Yass Valley Rail Trail. The proposed shared pedestrian and bicycle path is planned to be constructed along the disused Yass Tramway corridor between the Great Southern Railway (Yass Junction Railway Station) and Yass Township and will run for approximately 4.5 km.
The Rail Trail route includes a heritage listed steel bridge built in 1892 across the Yass River, and the route ends at the Yass Railway Museum (also heritage listed) near the centre of Yass.
Yass Valley Council required the assessment to be completed for the rail trail to confirm the feasibility of the project based on a range of social, economic, and environmental factors.
