ALL SIGNS POINT TO IMPROVED TRACKER RILEY PATHWAY EXPERIENCE
Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) has completed installation of 34 wayfinding signs around the 13.65 kilometre Tracker Riley Shared Pathway in Dubbo.
The signs, which were funded by the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program (LRCI), provide a refreshed and updated aesthetic to the pathway, replacing the previous red and green Dubbo City signage which was installed in 1996.
The new signage will add value to visitor and resident usage of the pathway by highlighting points of interest, such as nearby sporting facilities, and providing users with distance information between sections of the pathway at crucial decision points.
Manager Recreation and Open Space Ian McAlister said the new signage will encourage increased use of the pathway, while naturally complementing the signs already erected along the recently completed Legacy Shared Pathway.
“The wayfinding signage is to assist residents and visitors in finding their way around the Tracker Riley Shared Pathway with highly visible and relevant information at crucial decision points. We also took this opportunity to update the information about Tracker Alexander Riley, with input being provided by the Riley family.”
“The Tracker Riley Shared Pathway is a heavily utilised recreational asset. With the addition of these new signs, as well as the recently opened area along Bligh Street, residents and visitors will have even more to enjoy while they’re out exercising or partaking in a relaxing walk,” Mr McAlister said.
The new signage has been designed in four different contextually relevant styles, including full interpretive map signs, location map signs, ‘You Are Here’ signs and behavioural signs.
“If further funding opportunities are identified, there is the potential for additional wayfinding signage to be installed along the pathway,” Mr McAlister said.
