Environment
Rock falls from cliffs or conglomerate outcrop.
High (but needs further investigation); site specific – conglomerate cliffs.
Some outcrops are associated with rock shelters and access would likely be excluded because of cultural value.
Potential for rock fall at former Council quarry (Quarry Road) needs detailed investigation as this location could provide parking and ‘trail head’ facilities for several recreational, educational and tourism uses.
Consider both rocks falling from cliffs and people falling from unprotected loose edges.
May be manageable with rock bolts and rock fences, depending on detailed investigations. Environment
Topography, including steep slopes. Limitation on access for some groups of people.
High, falls risk, uneven and steep grades limiting access by pedestrians and vehicles.
There is currently no access to Munibung Hill for people with limited mobility. Current tracks are generally not suitable for bicycle access around the hill, significant upgrades would be required to make this safe and reduce erosion risks. Upgrades to enable and support bike riding are not proposed in the current Management Plan. Neither of the proposed access routes from district level trail heads is suitable for bikes without major works, including clearing wider corridors to create tracks at a passable gradient. Such works would increase environmental impacts and the potential for conflicts between users.
Munibung Hill Draft Management Plan 21110_R06_LMCC_Management Plan_Exhibition Draft
Raised walkways, stairs and hard surface tracks. Investment in track and trail construction to make safe and stable for pedestrians. Separation of pedestrians from vehicles (where vehicle access is required for maintenance of services or tracks or fire management).
