- Abstract
The Convict Trail Project was initiated in 1990, with the aim of protecting, restoring, maintaining and promoting the 240km convict-built Great North Road. The Project draws on support from community volunteers, participating stakeholder organisations and the government. An overall Management Plan was generated, consisting of a Conservation Management Plan, Business Plan and Tourism Plan. The long-term goal is to persuade the Roads and Traffic Authority to adopt the Great North Road and share the responsibility for the management and the funding of its restoration and maintenance.
