environment & sustainability

Responsible operations, climate action and long-term environmental stewardship

Our vision is to be a leading nature-based tourism experience that enhances community wellbeing, protects and celebrates our unique environment, and demonstrates best-practice sustainability and climate resilience, while aligning with the local values and climate goals of the Northern Rivers region.

The Northern Rivers Rail Trail (NRRT) currently operates across three local government areas: Tweed, Lismore and Richmond Valley. Each of these councils has made strong commitments to climate action, resilience and sustainable development. This plan acknowledges and supports those frameworks.

The NRRT’s approach to environmental management is designed to align with and support these council-led strategies, and contribute to broader state and regional sustainability goals.
