Gold Coast Nature Based Recreation Plan
The draft Nature Based Recreation (NBR) Plan is being developed to share and promote the outstanding nature based opportunities for recreation in our natural areas.
Posted on 15.02.2015
Nature based recreation includes bush walking, mountain biking, horse riding, trail running, picnicking, canoeing and kayaking, eco-tourism, camping and more.
Nature based recreation is defined as outdoor recreation activities that
(1) are dependent on the natural environment;
(2) have an appreciation of nature as a key motivational factor;
(3) do not require substantial modification to the natural environment; and
(4) are environmentally sustainable, as determined by an ongoing monitoring program.
The NBR Plan under development addresses nature based recreation in natural areas managed by the city.
